Once it’s removed.
Hi,

Good question. Yes, if you'll take them out. If not, they can create more problems.
Not trying to be unhelpful, but maybe. Sometimes they may flare up, the pain goes away never to return,however; if it keeps happening it would be best to have them removed. It's hard to give a yes or no answer without seeing neither the teeth or an X ray on this forum. It's always best to get a consultation with a general dentist or an oral surgeon.
No
No, unless you have extracted. If it is impacted, it needs to be removed so as to not damage the adjacent tooth. 
If impacted wisdom teeth are hurting they most likely need to be removed surgically. They will not get better on their own and more then likely get worst. It is not uncommon for the pain to subside temporarily but them come back with a vengeance. Please consult with an oral surgeon as soon as you can.
Maybe yes, maybe not. The best decision is to extract it.
Need to see X-ray for impacted or partially erupted wisdom tooth to diagnose any pathology and what is the cause! Usually, the cause can be inflamed gum, or infection, see a dentist asap. For more information, click here:

Maybe, depends on the source of the pain. For example, if there is a deep cavity likely it will hurt until treated. If the pain is from irritated gum while the tooth is erupting eventually the pain will subside
