Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that follow a larger one in the same area. They occur due to the area settling down and getting used to the new state of stress that was brought about by the mainshock.

That's impossible to answer with any sort of accuracy. Most earthquakes have one major event and numerous aftershocks.
A strong earthquake may be followed by weaker, but still potentially dangerous earthquakes called aftershocks. Aftershocks may be potentially more dangerous than other earthquakes of the same intensity because some buildings may have been weakened during the main shock.
