Answer 1

Yes, Magento paypal payment standard support the recurring payment.

You can enabled it from admin payment method section from paypal standard. You will need to set field Billing Agreement Signup to Auto or Ask customer. Also you will need to set Billing Agreement Settings in admin.

After this settings enabled when customer place an order with paypal standard method. Paypal will create billing agreement id for the customer and it will store in magento.

When user will place an order of any recurring product system will pass all the recurring options of that product like billing cycle, frequency, billing amount etc... to paypal and paypal will generate recurring profile id for this order. And it will manage next all payment schedule by itself.

Whenever next auto payment done in paypal it will send the response via IPN and magento will generate new order for that recurring profile and same time customer also notify as well admin user.
