Can a prosecution witness be re-called to testify after the defense?

The prosecution cannot call witnesses after it closes its case (prima-facie break), it can only cross-examine witnesses called by the defense. If the proseution attempts to call a witness not on its witness list before it closes its case, the defense should object. Basic court procedure means that the Prosecution must go first and show its case, then close its case, and then it is the defense's turn; the question as presented is a violation of the normal procedures used in court.

What do you call a person in the witness stand?

Generally speaking, a witness. They can be a witness for the defense or a witness for the prosecution in a criminal case. They can be a witness for the defense or a witness for the plaintiff in a civil case. If they are testifying in behalf of someone they would rather be testifying against, they are called a "hostile witness."
