If you are going to be at the same height and using the same coax then there shouldn't be a change or one that is noticeable.

Not unless you bump the gamma or one of the elements. The SWR should not change.

There will be some change, but should not be drastic. Height above ground, nearby conductive objects, feedline jacket currents, etc. affects the feedpoint impedance. There is always a chance you may need to fine tune it a little.
