. . . and if it eventually collapses back on itself, will that lead to a new big bang? and will that new universe have the same laws of physics or different?

When the Universe collapses, it will create a sereis of cross-dimensional reactions, similar to the one which we now call the "Big Bang." This massive event, like the last one, will facilitate the creation of one or more "perpendicular" dimensions (not to be confused with so-called "parallel dimensions") similar properties to the ones we observe in out current physical universe.

The universe isn't going to collapse in on itself...
"Recent experimental evidence (namely the observation of distant supernovae as standard candles, and the well-resolved mapping of the cosmic microwave background) have—to most scientists' considerable surprise—shown that the expansion of the universe is not being slowed down by gravity, but instead, accelerating, suggesting that the universe will not end with a Big Crunch, but will instead expand forever, though some scientists have contested this theory.[1] (The evidence of an accelerating universe has been considered conclusive by most cosmologists since 2002.)"

Universe is not closed. But the galaxies May collapse after their expansion is over.
I think they are different and not connected

I'll check on the sign at what time it reopens.
