Answer 1

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol

UDP uses a simple transmission model with a minimum of protocol mechanism.
It has no handshaking dialogues, and thus exposes any unreliability of the
underlying network protocol to the user's program. As this is normally IP
over unreliable media, there is no guarantee of delivery, ordering or
duplicate protection.

If you want to avoid such scenarios, you'll have to use TCP instead.
