The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, was largely a reaction to Franklin D. Roosevelt's four-term presidency, which raised concerns about the concentration of power in the executive branch. After Roosevelt's death in 1945, there was a strong desire among lawmakers to prevent any future president from serving more than two terms, reflecting a commitment to the democratic principle of rotation in office. The political climate post-World War II, marked by a push for stability and the desire to limit executive power, also contributed to the urgency of ratifying the amendment at that time.

Yes, this does happen. One good example is the Equal Rights Amendment. It was passed by congress in 1972 and then sent to the states to be ratified. At first, it seemed the amendment would succeed, but after 35 states had ratified it (it needed 38 to become law), the ERA stalled. There was normally a seven year time-limit for an amendment to be ratified, and although the deadline had been extended, by 1982, time ran out and the Equal Right Amendment failed.

Never. In order for an amendment to be properly ratified, it must be ratified in its EXACT language, by 3/5 of all of the states. While it seems that enough states did ratify a variation of the amendment in some form or another, it was never ratified in its exact language by enough states. This did not, however, prevent it from being added to the Constitution, and becoming de facto "law". It was never properly ratified. There are various institutions offering enormous cash rewards to anybody who can prove otherwise, as of yet, no takers.
What was the last amendment to be ratified by Congress but not ratified by enough states?
