The iso's are never remade after the initial.  If its drastically 
broken, they might pull it from distribution, but other than that no.


Once you install from the ISO, you'll need to update via freebsd-update, 
or /usr/src, or whatever else you might be thinking of. (just make sure 
to use RELENG_6 tag)

No, the ISOs remain the same as when the release happens. You can use
freebsd-update or csup /usr/src after installation to get updated.

The snapshots are of 6-STABLE, so you wouldn't want to use that if you
want -RELEASE.
