The jury cannot not declare itself "hung." The jury will make, or take, as many votes as it necessary to resolve the issue. Only the judge can declare a jury at an impasse (hung) and the judge will decide when the jury7 has deliberated long enough, and when sufficient votes have been taken.

There are occasions when a jury cannot reach a verdict, no matter how hard they try and they are called a hung jury. In case of a hung jury, the law will decide if to try the case again, or to drop the matter completely.
A hung jury is unable to reach unanimity on a verdict.
The expression in the US is that it is a "hung jury" which means there will have to be a new trial.
No. The defendant still remains charged with the same offense unless the charge is dismissed by the judge. Whatever the defendants status was before the hung-jury trial will remain the same until the court takes action to either dismiss the charge or re-schedule a new trial.
