Dead
It sounds like your drive has packed up. This happens. Using applications off the drive will tend to slightly reduce the theoretical life of the drive, but when disks pack up it's generally unrelated - electrical faults rather than the clusters actually wearing out. Cheap USB disks can have fairly high failure rates.

No
No. If it's doing that, it's completely dead. You should be able to get a replacement under warranty.
