Not sure what non-verticle means, but a rational function can have up to 2 non-vertical asymptotes,
When you graph a tangent function, the asymptotes represent x values 90 and 270.
No, it will always have one.
When you plot a function with asymptotes, you know that the graph cannot cross the asymptotes, because the function cannot be valid at the asymptote. (Since that is the point of having an asymptotes - it is a "disconnect" where the function is not valid - e.g when dividing by zero or something equally strange would occur). So if you graph is crossing an asymptote at any point, something's gone wrong.

Asymptotes
Asymptotes are one way - not the only way, but one of several - to analyze the general behavior of a function.
No, it will always have one.

Many functions actually don't have these asymptotes. For example, every polynomial function of degree at least 1 has no horizontal asymptotes. Instead of leveling off, the y-values simply increase or decrease without bound as x heads further to the left or to the right.
