No, if O accepts ONLY THAT GAME is affected. (If O accepts and later
redoubles, if X accepts the game is now redoubled, etc., but again only that
game is affected.)

No, if O rejects X wins one point (assuming the X only doubled (i.e., hadn't
REdoubled after having accepted a previous double from O in that game) - but
as for subsequent games, there is NO further restriction on either player
doubling (excluding certain situations in money games which don't
apply to the beginner). If O doubles in a subsequent game, and it is the
first double of that game, the points will be multiplied by 2 and not 4,
since each game is INDEPENDENT of other games as far as doubling is
concerned.
