No, a judge cannot refuse to look at evidence presented during a trial. It is their responsibility to consider all relevant evidence in making a fair and just decision.
A judge has final say on what is or is not admissable in their court. The only recourse if the evidence was refused is to file for an appeal and have the appeals court see if his/her refusal of the evidence was justified. If they find in favor of the judge, you're out of luck. If on the other hand the appeals court decides the evidence should be admissable, the case will most likely be retried with the new evidence presented.

Yes, new evidence can be presented after a mistrial, especially if a retrial is ordered. In a retrial, both parties have the opportunity to introduce new evidence that may not have been available during the initial trial. However, the admissibility of this evidence will still be subject to the rules of evidence and the discretion of the judge. Additionally, the nature of the mistrial may influence what evidence can be introduced.

When an objection is raised during a trial, a judge typically listens to the objection, considers the legal basis for it, and then makes a ruling on whether to sustain (agree with) or overrule (disagree with) the objection. The judge's decision helps determine what evidence or testimony can be presented in the trial.
Jury instructions are presented by the judge to the jury. The judge explains what the laws are that govern the case at hand. Jury instructions define the elements of the charged offense and define the burden of proof. Each attorney gives the judge a set of proposed jury instructions. The judge considers each instruction and then decides which ones properly state the law that applies to the case. She then makes her instruction to the jury. The jurors must accept and follow the law as instructed by the judge and use that instruction in their deliberations as they weigh testimony and evidence presented at the trial. Jury instructions are not evidence.
