You can get a charging rig and cans of coolant from an auto parts store, however you should check it (or have it checked) for leaks before you call it good. Secondly you should consider having it taken to a shop to be recharged. Their Coolant machine will vaccum out moisture from your system. Moisture can freeze in your lines and your a/c will not be cold until it defrosts.

sure you can. Go to an auto parts store and buy a refill kit. It will include a hose, valve, gauge, and the fitting to connect the hose. Just be sure to use the right freon. R134a if the car is a newer model or it its an old one then r12. good luck.

Theoretically, you should NEVER have to recharge your AC. You have a leak and in the long run you are better off to have a professional check it out and repair the leak.

yes, but some vehicles are easy to overcharge and that will cause less cooling too.
