Do after shocks of an earthquake happen within a week?
It depends! Depending upon the built-in energy at the epicenter before and after the earthquake (main shock), and/or the energy (especially stored at some weaker places) generated after the earthquake, aftershocks of an earthquake range in their time.For more details, refer: http://www.answers.com/library/Wikipedia-cid-1349 Aftershock

Well it all depends wher the epicenter is. Wherever that is the earthquake will be the strongest but still beable to be felt in other areas.
How strong is a magnitude 8 earthquake compared to a 7?
The amplitude (height) of the seismic waves in a magnitude 8 earthquake will be ten times larger than in a magnitude 7 quake. This equates to approximately 31 times more energy.
Where earthquake more stronger in epicenter or in the edge of the earthquake?
At epicenter.
How many after shocks did the earthquake cause in japan?

Earthquakes happen each and every day somewhere around the world but some places are more prone to have more earthquakes than others. If you think you felt an earthquake then you should check the USGS Earthquake Information Center website to see a map of recent earthquakes. They have a "Did You Feel It?" website to report events.
Would a strong earthquake be more likely to occur along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently or along a fault where several minor earthquakes have happened recently explain?
it is more likely to have a strong earthquake where few recent earthquakes have happened

Where would earthquake damage be more - near the epicenter or away from the epicenter?
All other factors being equal, the seismic waves will be felt most strongly at or near to the epicentre of the earthquake.
