An SPST switch can break the connection or hold the connection depending on which switch your using.
DPST is like two SPST that are actuated by single switching mechanism. In other words two switches turned on/off by one lever action or push button.
No.
A SPST switch is the type used for turning the lights on and off in your home lighting systems. It is just basically just an on - off switch.
In electronics, SPDT refers to a particular type of switch; a "Single Pole Double Throw" style. Other flavors I think you may recognize now are SPST, DPDT, and TPDT. It breaks down like this; the "Pole" count (single, double, triple, etc.) refers to the number of switch contact sets that are connected to the switch lever. The "Throw" count refers to the number of positions the switch lever is designed to be set to. Light switches in your house are SPST switches.
If one circuit contains all three switches and their loads are on the same circuit then only one "hot" and one neutral is needed.
A single pole single throw switch (SPST) is used to open or close a contact to a single wire. It can be used as an on/off switch for an appliance or for a light bulb.

It stands for Single Pole Single Throw
SPST stands for Single-Pole, Single-Throw, and is a designation for the switch contact arrangement that has just two terminals. As the switch is thrown, these two terminals will be either open or closed depending on the position of the handle.
A three way switch is a switch that is used in a lighting circuit that allows the light fixture to be turned on from three separate locations within the building. In electrical terminology this switch is also referred to as a SPST, Single Pole Single Throw switch. The switch has three individual terminals of which two are always connected. These switches are usually located at the far extremes of the circuit with an intermediate switch between them. This intermediate switch is referred to an a four way switch.
