Hi
ok the answers to your questions are:
It is fine for your cats to continue mating, she will decide if she no longer wants his attentions and will tell him so.

cats can get pregnant the first time or the next or the next, there is no definite answer to this question.

Lastly, once she is pregnant, her periods of heat will stop for the duration of her pregnancy.

i have some web pages here about cats in heat and cat pregnancy which you may find of interest here are the pages
