After this process is completed, can the entangled qubit pair be reused to transfer more information or is this a one off? That is, do you have to repeat the "give another to your friend" part in order to transmit more information?

This method requires the initial entangled qubits to be in a "Bell State" (equal superposition of both in 0 and both in 1). After teleportation, its no longer in that state. So it's not reusable by this method, but maybe by another that I don't know about (though I doubt it).
