The James Bond themes, like those of most movies, were written specifically for each movie. The composer, John Barry, composed the music for 11 of the James Bond movies.
Guns 'N' Roses did "Live and Let Die" - that is one James Bond Movie theme. It was a cover of the Movie version done by Sir Paul McCartney and Wings. I've never heard a "heavy rock" version of the "James Bond Theme" which is the jazz intro featured during the opening "gun barrel sequence" of most James Bond films (I think the current "Casino Royale" (2006) is an exception). This theme was written by Monty Norman, who has been collecting royalties on it since 1962.
Not taking inflation into account, the highest grossing James Bond film is Casino Royale (2006), which made $599,200,000 worldwide. Adjusting for inflation, the most successful James Bond film is Thunderball (1965), which made the equivalent of $966,435,555 today.

I think that all of James Bond's old recurring adversary have either vanished, become allies or died. The James Bond villain that appears in the most James Bond films is probably Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
"Most successful" is vague (by what standard?) but probably "Who Are You," especially since CBS popped for the rights to use it as the CSI theme.
Skyfall, the hugely successful latest outing of James Bond, has become the first film to take more than _‚£100m at the UK box office, despite the franchise marking its 50th year.
