It normally does, and in older conversions the added fixtures were sometimes tied into an existing vent that was already at capacity. The sign is a gurgling drain in one unit whenever the other unit empties a sink or a tub.

Only if there are isolation valves on each branch. Where a building was divided without adding them, the main has to close and both units go without water for the duration, which is worth knowing before scheduling anything.

It can. An empty apartment with the heat turned down leaves the party wall cold on both faces, and the shared line inside it freezes and splits where the water sits still. The break may only show downstairs once the ice thaws and pressure returns.

Either fully winterize it or keep the heat on. Turning the water off at the unit valve and draining the branch removes the risk, and leaving low heat running protects the shared stack in the party wall. The half measure, water on and heat off, is the one that causes damage.
