Perhaps, but not guaranteed. Tile is generally much heavier than asphalt or "composition" shingles. If you're concerned, have a roofing contractor to evaluate your roof.
Slate which is a type of stone is used for the roof tiles instead of shingles. It splits in thin sheets and is nailed to the roof the same as regular asphalt shingles.
The sun. The heat from the sun bakes your roof and deteriorates the shingles the quickest.
Nails or staples. Nails are better.

No, cut a whole shingle in thirds at the cut outs.

There is not a set number of years, but if your roof has multiple leaks, the shingles are asphalt and show signs of curling or buckling, your gutters are full of the granules which cover the asphalt shingles, or you want to give your home a new appearance, then it would be time to check into it.
Asphalt shingles are some of the most widely used mediums for roofs as they are generally more inexpensive than other types, and they are easy to work with. Whether you're applying those asphalt shingles to an old roof or a new roof, it's helpful to know that the application process is generally the same for all. The important aspect to remember is that when you are re-roofing, the most important thing to pay attention to is how you begin placing the asphalt shingles at the lower edge. Remember that mimicking the arrangement/pattern of the first roof could cause you to end up with waves in your roof design.
