Most scorpions give live birth, and do NOT reproduce like humans, they reproduce similarly, with male and female parts, and sperm, but the process is not the same. Scorpion young stay on their mother's back for several weeks until they molt, they then descend and become completely independent of their mothers, usually, occasionally there is a form of community, but those are the exceptions to the rule.
Yes. They would have to otherwise the first would be the last.

Most scorpions reproduce sexually and most species have male and female individuals. While the majority of scorpion species reproduce sexually, some such as, Hottentotta hottentotta, Liocheles australasiae, Tityus columbianus, Tityus metuendus, Tityus serrulatus, Tityus stigmurus, Tityus trivittatus, and Tityus urugayensis, all reproduce through parthenogenesis, a process in which unfertilized eggs develop into living embryos. Parthenogenic reproduction starts following the scorpions final molt to maturity and continues thereafter. Sexual reproduction is accomplished by the transfer of a spermatophore from the male to the female; scorpions possess a complex courtship and mating ritual to effect this transfer. Mating starts with the male and female locating and identifying each other using a mixture of pheromones and vibrational communication; once they have satisfied each other that they are of opposite sex and of the correct species, mating can commence. The courtship starts with the male grasping the female's pedipalps with his own; the pair then performs a "dance" called the "promenade à deux". In reality this is the male leading the female around searching for a suitable place to deposit his spermatophore. The courtship ritual can involve several other behaviours such as juddering and a cheliceral kiss (in which the male's chelicerae--clawlike mouthparts--grasp the female's in a smaller, more intimate version of the male's grasping the female's pedipalps and in some cases injecting a small amount of his venom into her body[citation needed] ), probably as a means of pacifying the female. When he has identified a suitable location, he deposits the spermatophore and then guides the female over it. This allows the spermatophore to enter her genital opercula, which triggers release of the sperm, thus fertilizing the female. The mating process can take from 1 to 25+ hours and depends on the ability of the male to find a suitable place to deposit his spermatophore. If mating goes on for too long, the female may eventually break off the process. Once the mating is complete, the male and female quickly separate. The male will generally retreat quickly, most likely to avoid being cannibalized by the female, although sexual cannibalism is infrequent with scorpions.

Scorpions give live birth. They crawl out of the bottom of the mother through these wing like body parts. The young then crawl onto the mother's back where they will stay until their first molt.

They are called genital operculums. In the male, they throw the spermatophore to a good enough substrate or ground, whilst the female picks the spermatophore up with hey operculum and fertilized the eggs. The gestation period can last to up to several months. At birth, the young emerge from the genital cavity (or operculum) and land on the cradle shaped basket the mother has formed with her first pair of legs. After a few moments the offspring will climb up to the mothers back and remain there until it's next molt, which can take place in the next 5 to 25 days after birth. Eventually the juveniles will go through approximately 5 molts. By the last one they will be fully sexually mature and will produce no more molts.

Sexually, like most invertebrates. Not sure if they are oviparous or viviparous though.
