Yes, folic acid is good for the development of your baby. You should try to get on any prenatal vitamins before you start TTC if possible. If not, just buy some Women's One-A-Day vitamins. I was taking One-A-Day's for a couple of months before I got my BFP. Good luck!!
Also, remember that folic acid is in a lot of foods that you eat. Check the nutrition labels on your food.

Yes, you should start your vitamins now. You don't have to worry about getting too much folic, your body won't absorb what it doesn't need. High risk girls are usually told to take 5mg.

if your levels are back to "not pregnant" levels all should be ok hun. if you are worried you could always start by taking multi vits and then change when you get the all clear

Yes, take them. After the m/c my doctor told me that if we were going TTC that I should not stop taking them.
