I just have a few queries regarding dialogue in a novel, especially if there are several lines of dialogue.

When two characters are talking, does each line of speech go on a separate line or can they simply follow after each other?
Can a normal sentence follow after a line of speech or would it have to start on a new line?
When a new character is first mentioned in a line of speech, is it acceptable to then quickly give a brief description of the character in a sentence before the next line of speech continues the dialogue between the characters?
