Yes, it keeps coming back. It is by nature a grass which means that so long as it never makes a seed head it keeps growing till frost.
The timing of each cutting is determined in theory by timing to achieve the best quality forage but in real life a guy cuts it when there is enough sunny days in the forecast to get it down and back up without a rain shower. It becomes stemmy if not cut at the appropriate time.
The number of cuttings is determined by how early it is planted, ambient temperature, rainfall and the capacity of your soil. Most folks are able to get three cuttings. It will make some serious tonnage.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
