It depends. By default, Instagram enables the sharing of stories. So, if you don't change any settings, others can share your IG stories. But you can limit this. You can go to your privacy settings and adjust who can share your content. If you set it to 'Only Me' for sharing, then no one can share your stories. But if you leave it as the default or set it to 'Followers' or 'Public', people will be able to share your IG stories.
In most cases, yes. If you post a story on Instagram and your privacy settings are set to public or to allow sharing among your followers, others can share it without getting your permission. But you can take steps to prevent this. For example, you can adjust your privacy settings so that only you can share your own stories. This gives you more power over the distribution of your content on the platform.

However, if they notice that their story has more shares than expected or they see it on your story, they might suspect it. But there's no in - app notification for this regarding lack of permission.
Yes. When creating an Instagram story, you are able to tag multiple individuals. All you need to do is add the @ symbol followed by each username. This is useful for sharing group experiences, promoting a product or event with a team, or simply highlighting a bunch of friends. Tagging multiple people can potentially increase the reach of your story as it will be shown to all the tagged people's followers, at least in part.
No, in general, people cannot tell if you block your IG story specifically. Instagram doesn't send out a notification to someone saying you've blocked your story from them. It just appears that they can't view it, but there's no direct indication that it's because you've blocked it as opposed to other reasons like a privacy setting that restricts viewing to a specific group.
