Genital warts back and forth

First, let me start off by thanking the doctors who contribute to answering all of these questions.

My question is in regards to genital warts and the chances of it being passed back and forth between one person. I believe that I contracted this virus sometime in the past few months. Within that time frame, after a few dumb hookups and before a few more dumb hookups, I had unprotected intercourse with someone I am currently looking to be in a relationship with. There is a possibility that they gave me the virus, even though we had had intercourse before that night, dating back months prior. I know for a fact that the person had been with others since that time so it is possible they contracted it at some point within that time frame.

***I am unaware if this person has received the vaccine or not***

1.) How likely is it that they would catch this virus from me, once I have had the warts removed, (waiting until recovery) if we were to have unprotected intercourse, given that they HAVE been vaccinated?

2.) Chances if person has NOT been vaccinated?

3.) If they do already have the virus, and my immune system has already begun to fight off the infection, will having intercourse reinfect my body and increase the viral DNA load once again, making the recurrence of the warts more likely?

Thank you for any responses,
