Yes.

Yes because when the DNA goes through replication it can be messed up on more than one chromosome. It all depends on what genes the parents combine.

Of course. Do take note though that some genes can contribute to more than 1 genetic disorder (i.e. 2 genetic disease may be related and/or incorrect coding for both conditions is on the same gene).
One good example of this is autoimmune diseases. Although these are generally polygenic (susceptibility caused by more than one gene), there are some familial cases where it is monogenic. These people often have more than one autoimmune disease, called a “cluster”.
