Generally, no. The tape remains loaded unless the drive is needed for
something else.

Unless the drive is part of a shared library, then it will be unloaded after a specified period. This is defined by the "Idle device timeout" parameter in the NSR jukebox resource.

Not unless the drives are in a tape silo. The idle device timeout period seems to be ignored in regular tape libraries, at least that's my experience, but it is the way I prefer things to work anyway.
