Nope, it checks every X amount of boots, this value can be set with the
program tune2fs. I suggest you read VEY carefully the manual page of
tune2fs first before using that program.
I should also say that if there is an uptime above X amount of days and one
reboots, the disk will also be checked as well.

No, at least ot normally.
man fsck wil help you on this answer.
NEVER RUN TUNE2FS or FSCK on mounted filesytems.
