As long as the root of the hair has not been burned then the whiskers will grow back. It depends on the breed of cat as to how long it will take for your cat to grow their whiskers back to full length.

They will, but it is a slow process, taking possibly several years before they are all back in place; and during that time, the cat is more likely to get stuck in small spaces because he doesn't have his whiskers available to him to tell him when a space is too small for him.

Yes, as long as the whisker root under the skin has not been damaged it will grow a whisker back, in time.

Yes. However, they should not be purposely trimmed--they protect the cat from going into tight spots.
