While the impression has been given that walking around picking out an afro throughout the whole day is how it's supposed to be, truthfully, you only need to pick it out when you feel it needs some primping.
Make sure you pick it out after you awake because sleeping on it likely has made it seem smaller than what it is, and do so after anytime you lie down on it, or maybe you or someone else has put their hand(s) on your head throwing off its shape; you can pick it out if you feel you want to groom it back to style.
Some people go for small afros like Cardie. But others go for big ones like Ray Toro.
Go for whatever feels natural.

Yes. It can stop growing as well if the scalp can't get enough air and if if the hair is getting really dirty. If you have short afro type hair, I'm talking a few inches, then just massaging your hair daily on a night will do the trick, that, or combing it out with an afro comb. Some use a little cocnut oil if they live in cold places when combing their hair as it softens the hair and makes it easier to shape by combing and patting down.

Malnutrition is often what makes hair stop growing. Hair growth also decreases as a person ages and some hereditary disorders will cause hair to stop growing.
The best comb and brush for afro-textured hair is a wide tooth comb and a paddle brush. Afro hair is very tangle prone and fine tooths just dont work. Try to use leave in conditoner when detangler and general combing; it make the proces much easier. If it a weave that is Afro-texturized it the same procedure only if the hair is human. If its not then follow the directions on the package, ask a hair dresser, or someone who wears wigs often.
