Mostly, the answer is no. Social media apps focus more on other aspects of photo engagement such as views, comments, and likes. The idea of sharing is a bit more complex in terms of privacy. If a platform were to show who shared your photo, it could lead to unwanted harassment or privacy breaches for the person who shared it.

On some social media platforms, there are features that can give you an indication if your story has been shared.

So, generally, there are mechanisms in place for them to have an idea about the sharing of their story.
Yes, in some cases they can. It often depends on the platform and its settings.
Instagram doesn't offer a feature to show if someone has screenshotted your photo. It's a privacy - related decision. While it might seem inconvenient for some who want to protect their content, it also gives freedom to users to capture and save things they like privately. If you're worried about your photos being shared without permission, you could consider adding watermarks or using Instagram's privacy settings to limit who can view your photos in the first place.
