If you hit the area hard enough you sure can. But if it's already broken and being treated it really needs to be in a supporting and protective brace or cast.

Yes, It could re-brake by tripping over a curb.

Well, it depends on how far along the healing is. It is NOT difficult to break an already-broken bone.

It may not be broken again, but it may have been jostled out of correct alignment.

Only if you hit the bone on something while the car is bouncing around.
