Yes. We also believe that the karma we accumulate in this life carries on to our future reincarnations.

Although it is not mandatory to believe in such to follow the Buddhist philosophy. Buddhists are encouraged to question all the Buddhist teachings and only accept those they find true and helpful after much contemplation.

Yes Buddhists believe in previous lives, and in lives yet to come. The nature of your reincarnation depends on how well you lived the life just past. The culmination of these progressive reincarnations is the state of Nirvana, which might be described as a state of heavenly grace.
