A. No ssh will not disconnect your ssh existing ssh session. You can use normal ssh restart command:
# /etc/init.d/ssh restart

Similarly when you restart network ssh session will not be disconnected:
# /etc/init.d/network restart

However if you are making any changes to iptables based firewall script, you may loss the connectivity due to wrong iptables rules.
