Yes. Names used by the National Hurricane Center are re-used on a rotating 6-year cycle. As an example, while most people know of Hurricane Irene in 2011, the name was also used for a hurricane in 2005. If a storm is particularly bad the name will be retired, meaning that no future storms will get that name.
Yes, there have been instances of two hurricanes making landfall on the same day. This occurred in 1933 when two hurricanes struck on the same day along the U.S. Gulf Coast. It is a rare event but not unprecedented in meteorological history.

There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.

No. A hurricane is a type of storm, but most storms are not hurricanes.
Cause they do.
You can't have two (or more) hurricanes at the same time in the same place. Even if you did superimpose two different weather systems on top of eachother, the result would still be one weather system, or in this case, one hurricane. You can, however, have three hurricanes at the same time in different places.
A group, or 2 or more, hurricanes has no official name. It just pertains to the chaos theory and the fujiwara effect. But when hurricanes do get close enough to each other, they will circle each other until an outside force pulls them apart. This is called the Fujiwara effect.

No ..... hurricanes are not formed in the same way some can be stronger some can be lighter. Most hurricanes form from tropical disturbances that organize and intensify. However, some hurricanes develop when a subtropical or extratropical low takes on tropical characteristics.
