Two events are disjoint if they cannot occur together. In set terms, their intersection is a null set.
No.
It depends on whether or not the events are independent.
Complements or complementary events
In probability theory, disjoint events are two (or more) events where more than one cannot occur in the same trial. It is possible that none of them occur in a particular trial.
If two events are disjoint, they cannot occur at the same time. For example, if you flip a coin, you cannot get heads AND tails. Since A and B are disjoint, P(A and B) = 0 If A and B were independent, then P(A and B) = 0.4*0.5=0.2. For example, the chances you throw a dice and it lands on 1 AND the chances you flip a coin and it land on heads. These events are independent...the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.

If they're disjoint events: P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) Generally: P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A|B)

you find the probability
Complements or complementary events
Aces and 9s are disjoint events, so the probability of either is the sum of the probabilities of each. P(A or 9) = P(A) + P(9) = 1/13 + 1/13 = 2/13
