It varies by country. For example, Canada requires 3 years of physical presence within the last 5 years, while Australia requires 4 years of lawful residence, including 1 year as a PR.

Yes. Most countries require you to physically live in the country for a minimum number of days over a certain period (residency obligation). Failing to meet this can result in the loss of PR status.

This depends on the laws of both your home country and your new country. Many countries allow dual citizenship, but some strictly prohibit it, requiring you to renounce your original citizenship.
