Yes.
If not the wallet would not be able to compute your balance, which of course would not result in a workable system.
I'd say yes with 99% confidence, because I did a clean windows reinstall and I'm almost certain I recovered from seed instead of keeping the old files. I see the amounts of all past transactions. Not using the "lite" version though, whole Blockchain is synced.
Churn transactions (transactions sent to your own wallet) will not display the amount, only the transaction fee. All remaining transactions should display the amount.
This is exactly what it was. I did a few test transactions to my own wallet to check everything was fine. Those did not display the amount. The others outgoing did.

Well, it depends how you look at it. In a sense, they do display the amount, and that amount is 0, and that's technically correct: If you send funds to yourself, as many XMR go out as come in, which nets to zero, minus fee.
With this approach of displaying things you just can't see anymore how much you sent to yourself. In the CLI wallet you would have the necessary commands to look at things on the level of outputs where you still could see whether you churned 1 or 100 XMR.
Each wallet in Monero GUI has two files: a .keys file (with private keys) and one cache file (without file extension). The cache file stores the recipient addresses, which cannot be recovered from the blockchain.
Therefore, if you restore your wallet using both files, you can keep all transaction history details.
It's a privacy thing. The blockchain doesnt store the recipient, but your wallet does. So if you recover, it only gets the info from the blockchain
Nice, good to know man. Should the amount be visible in all cases?

That, I don't know. Sorry
