yes it does because instead of having 1 random variable you have 2
sticking with one set helps alot
no
lets say i stick with 123
lets say that fails the first time
you're implying that it is somehow more likely to be 123 the next time? no - it's still 1/6 chance
you're falling victim to the "gambler's fallacy" in probability
same thing with the lottery - constantly picking the same number over and over again is no better than picking a different number each time because the events are independent
