All patients who have experienced a stroke should be under the care of a neurologist. The question is not properly done, I do not understand the meaning of "amount of area is growing? Is numbness expanding extending, and is the muscle weakness worsening. Yes, you must see a neurologist.
Yes, as soon as possible!
Yes you need to see a doctor for evaluation to do a CT of the head to make sure that the stroke is not getting worse.

Yes. You should go to the hospital. Also call your doctor.
Yes, definitely. You may be having a new stroke or an extension of an old stroke. If this recently started, go to an emergency room immediately!
