Treatment of TB of bones & joints is continued fo at least 9- 12 months. Even after completing  the treatment one should be under observation for reactivation of the disease  process. Falling/ rising ESR is just one of the  parameter of disease activity.

Yes, infection/inflammation elsewhere in the body will also raise ESR
