Yes, it does.
Although most ozone in the atmosphere is made through the reaction of Ultraviolet light with oxygen molecules, some is also made with any electric discharge in the air.

Yes, it does. Any electrical discharge through the atmosphere will create soe ozone. However, most of the atmospheric ozone is produced by charged particles striking oxygen molecules in the upper atmosphere.

Yes. Electrical discharges produce ozone. You might have noticed the pungent smell when the copying machine is used for a long time, without adequate ventillation. That pungent smell is due to ozone produced by the corona (electrical discharge used to charge the OPC drum).

Yes. I have even heard that if you are close enough you can sometimes smell it in the air.
