It's when you repeat an experiment over and over again to see whether you'll get the same results all the time, some of the time, or never. Being able to predict what's going to happen is usually seen as proof of that your theory about how things work is correct.

To make sure your results are verifiable, and find contaminations or variables that are not accounted for in the initial conditions or descriptions. Not much more embarassing and career damaging than reporting fantastic results (like room temperature nuclear fusion) that can't be repeated. Also, data can be charted for greater accuracy once you get verifiable results.

It would increase the reliabilty, not validity. This is because it would provide enough date to get an average result, and would also show if any experimental errors were made. Also, repeating it would enable you to compare the results easier with others, which would tell you whether the experiment we reliable, which it would be if the results were similar.

In a science experiment, the more trials you perform, the more accurate your result will usually be. So if by "better" you mean giving a more precise result, then yes, more trials are better.
