ok :
1. you really do need the test kit now, because it seems your tap has ammonia. That will need you to add something like Seachem Prime here is a link http://www.seachem.com/products/product_pages/Prime.html, but get that test kit like tomorrow, and confirm your readings. get the Prime even quicker as otherwise your tapwater is poisoning your fish.
2. when treating with pimafix I must say that I generally do the water changes even more frequently and just redose - the clean water is as if not more important when you are lucky enough to have caught something early.

no prob at all - that is the whole idea 
yep they can heal from ammonia burn - generally its confined to very high concentrations, and the best treatment comes out of your tap.
more frequently however exposure to ammonia over prolonged periods causes general illness to manifest itself that the fish would otherwise not have contracted...could be fungus on one fish, bacterial infection in another, fin rot in another. that's why prevention is better than cure, because otherwise you end up trying to fight a whole load of problems, and you will be stressed and unhappy, which is the opposite of how you should be when you are lucky enough to keep fish
