Well first off, I have not seen this series so I cannot provide answers to your questions, I'm sorry.

But as for another season, there doesn't seem to be any indication of a third season of this series. The second season (Stage 2) ended its run in Japan around 2004, but luckily the main site is still up, though only recently updated in 2005 - perhaps there may be a chance the show isn't discontinued and/or finalized.

Also, the manga of Gantz is still running in Japan as well (the latest volume to be released this December). So, there may be a chance that the studio is taking a hiatus until they can plan and get everything needed to make a third season. But this is not always the case, as seen with several series, such as Samurai Deeper Kyo. There are also other reasons, such as lack of funds, disagreement between the mangaka and studio, lack of popularity, the desire to end the series on a "contemplative note," and more.

But if none of these reasons apply, then the only way to get answers to some of your questions is to read the manga. The manga is not licensed in the US (not sure of elsewhere) so people download it; but I cannot provide any information on downloads, you'll have to search for it yourself.

I hope this helps a little.
