Answer 1

ionic build is required every time you make changes and want them to be updated on the native side.

ionic capacitor add android only once while adding a new platform

After this, use these for future changes

ionic build && ionic capacitor sync android (if you have added any new package/plugin)

ionic build && ionic capacitor copy android (if only code has been changed)

Note: ionic capacitor and npx cap both can be used.. Reference Docs Capacitor
