Yes! There are no restrictions on how many terms . consecutive or otherwise , that a vice-president can serve, provided he is eligible to serve as president. ( A vice-president who later served two terms as president would not be allowed to come back and serve as vice-president again. )

No vice-president has yet served non consecutive terms but Charles Fairbanks , who was vice president from 1905 to 1909 ran again for vice president in 1916 but lost.

Yes.

Richard Nixon served as Dwight Eisenhower's VP from 1953 to 1961, and was elected as President in 1968 and 1972. Of course he didn't complete 2 full terms as President due to the Watergate scandal which forced his resignation in 1974.

Also, if George H. W. Bush had won the election of 1992, he, too, would have served two terms as Vice President and two terms as President.

The 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states, in part,

"... no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

Some believe that this does not apply to those whose constitution ineligibility is due to the ratification of the 22nd Amendment, which limits the number of times a person may be elected President. Nobody who has reached the legal limit for being elected President has accepted a vice presidential nomination, so the debate has yet to be settled by the Judicial System.

Yes, and it's happened a few times. Two-term VPs who later became President were John Adams, Richard Nixon, and George Bush Sr.
