Advanced subsidiary (AS) is normally a 1 year course covering the first half of the A level specification. A level is normally a 2 year course covering approximately twice as much stuff. There is no requirement to take AS exams in order to progress to A level but the AS content forms part of the A level.
You say you're taking A2 so I presume you mean you're in Year 13 and have already covered the AS content.

You will never take the AS exams. You will take the Advanced exams at the end of this year.

Yes. The A in A level is for Advanced. Strictly speaking A2 was a modular A level thing and now no longer exists though people are still using it to refer to the second year of A level. You've been doing advanced all along.

Yes, (if you can find AS papers for the new reformed specs) the questions will be completely relevant but only cover the first half of the course.
