1. not AFTER replacement, except check if the tyre is securely fixed. (Stand on the lug wrench for each lug nut briefly to ensure this) The major check BEFORE the puncture is ensuring the spare tyre is inflated properly - Make it a practice to inflate the spare along with the running tyres each time you fill/check air.
2. Of course, but replace the spare with a new tyre ASAP. Also have a second opinion about whether the damaged tyre is really a goner.
