It usually does worsen after eating.
All depends on the type of food you’re eating and amount. Lactose intolerance and the such iss just the tip of the iceberg. PCP, Gastro, OBGYN next. I hope you feel better.
Yes, sometimes. You would have to change your diet to an organic green Mediterranean diet, stay hydrated and drink Kefir 500 ml daily. Maintain BMI close to 25.
Most commonly yes, it does. Because food stimulates stomach acid secretion and this irritates and burns more. And stomach stretching is painful too. Blocking acid secretion is essential for healing. And gentle small portion eating is also essential.

No, just eating alone does not worsen gastritis. Chronic gastritis in general does not cause pain, but acute gastritis (e.g., from infection) can definitely cause pain.
