No. Just like if you lost an arm the other one wouldn't just fall off. But if you got hit hard enough to "crush" an eye you would have other thing to worry about!!!

In general, no.
But there are a few *rare* conditions where damage, blinding to one eye, can cause serious problems and even blindness in the other eye.
Sympathetic uveitis
Phacoanaphylactic Endophthalmitis
No, I'm not making those names up up.
Basically microscopic amounts of tissue from the damaged eye travel round the blood vessels, sensitising and producing a reaction in the non-damaged eye.
It's different to a simple spreading infection.

Pedestal4 is correct.
Alhough rare, if one eye is badly injured or lost to infection, the other eye can also degenerate. That is why a non sighted eye is sometimes removed, so as to prevent the other eye from following.

No Not at all .Think about it this way if a person is blind in only one eye he still has Other eye to see out of.

No, there are a lot of people with one eye, either because of disease or injury. The eyes work together to move and focus, but they are not linked in any other way.
