1. Presumably not
Cabinet officials serve at the pleasure of the president. If Obama doesn't ask for Gates resignation, there is no need for him to be reconfirmed.

2. Just finished watching PE Obama, and that question came to me.
Seems foolish to re confirm a sitting secretary, but we're talking DC here..

Peace!

Had he left the job and come back, then he would need to be confirmed again.
