After having a seizure a person will become tired and feel worn down. Upon coming out of a seizure a person can be confused, disoriented and lack the ability to concentrate. Seizures can have many other effects as well depending on the person, type of seizure and severity of the seizure.
There are many forms of seizure and a person having one can behave in different ways. It is usually very clear that they are not drunk but are having some other problem, namely a seizure. There are many ways of knowing that someone is drunk, and it would be very obvious that they will have been taking alcohol. A seizure is not like that.
In most cases the answer is no. However, a person can have a very mild seizure, which they are aware of and so they are aware of their surroundings. The seizure would not even be noticeable to anyone else.
That is a simple analogy or what is happening during a seizure. There is constant electrical activity in the brain. When it gets disrupted a bit, a person can have a seizure.
Epilepsy is not considered until you have had more than one seizure. In order to be diagnosed with epilepsy, a neurologist will have an EEG done. This reads the electrical activity in your brain. From there, the doctor can determine weather or not you are epileptic.
During a minor or what is called a petit mal seizure, someone can appear that way. More serious seizures will cause greater problems and someone may collapse or become unconscious. Epilepsy only causes a problem when the person is having a seizure. When someone with epilepsy is not having a seizure they will act normally and will not appear dreamy or switched off.
Some partial seizures are associated with an altered level of consciousness, even though the person might appear to be awake and his or her eyes may be open. In this type of seizure, called a complex partial seizure, the affected person is unaware of the people nearby during the event, is not aware of his or her own movements or behaviors during the seizure, and does not remember the seizure after it occurs. When the person having a partial seizure is aware of having a seizure, is aware of his or her surroundings and remembers the event afterward, the seizure is classified as a simple partial seizure.

No. It is a condition where someone has a tendency to have seizures. Why this happens varies from person to person. There are many forms of Epilepsy and many causes. But it is not a disease. It is not infectious or anything like that.
If someone is having a seizure, they will often experience involuntary movement for 60-90 seconds. The person's body may shake rapidly and uncontrollably. There are many types of seizures.
A one second seizure wouldn't be even noticeable, but seizures can be seconds in passing, and only the person that is having it might know it was happening.
