That depends what you're using the session for and for how long, so only you could address that question.

That would be an ownCloud question. I assume you're asking here whether the SP session is present on the other node and of course the answer out of the box is no. Whether that matters depends on your use of the session.

Your goal, at all costs, should be to avoid it. If you have your own application session, you should usually seek to drop the SP session out of the picture as early as possible.
