It depends significantly on what terms the work was published under. It is fairly common for different publishers to be listed for the same book in different markets; a common split is one publisher for US versions of the work, and another publisher for the UK version. Updated versions of the book may also be published differently than the original edition.
Many times publishers also make deals among themselves (or the publishers are owned by the same parent entity) and so a book published under exclusive rights may still be published by different publishers.
Yes. This is a very important part of public domain, specifically derivative works.
You can make minor or major changes to something in the public domain and re-release it under your own copyright. The copyright only applies to the specific changes or additions you have made to the work, not the entire work. Eg. Hamlet is in the public domain, and cannot be copyrighted. An annotated version of Hamlet with an index can be copyrighted, but the only the index and annotations would would be considered under copyright, not all of Hamlet.
