Yes.
The funeral of Jehovah's Witnesses is primarily to provide comfort to grieving ones, and certainly flowers are something that provides cheer to those receiving them. In fact, if you go to the funeral service in the Kingdom Hall, likely you will see flowers on the platform that have been sent by others, including members of the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Edited to add that while Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians, we do not use the cross symbol in our worship. So if you do send flowers to a memorial service/funeral for one of Jehovah's Witnesses, please do not send one that is shaped like a cross. We would certainly appreciate the sentiment, but would not display such an arrangement.
Of course. EDIT: yes. there is no problem is sending flowers for a J.W. who is sick. only when something is given in relation to a birthday, religious and/or secular holiday or some religious event then we would have to kindly refuse. but with giving some one a congrats card for graduating or anything like that, we have no problem with.

There is no set limit to the number of memorial services a diceased witness can have. I have seen the exact senerio you mentioned occur, so the answer is yes.

You can but you don't have to. I would because people like flowers and it seems like the right thing to do but if you don't nobody will hate on you and most likely people will bring flowers so you don't have to worry if you do or don't. Hope this helped :)

I think flowers are fairly traditional, although some people request that you donate to a charity in the name of the departed instead.
