First question,
Are you asking this question before getting married or before getting married to a particular girl?
Second question,
You should get the first test done immediately the next day after you have sexual intercourse. There are many STIs and some can be picked up by discharge examination.
Third Question
Yes.
Fourth question
You should wait for at least four weeks. Vaccination starts the reaction in the body immediately but a certain level of antibodies may not be there immediately.

So if you are starting inter course which means you haven't had intercourse before you don't need any test because without sex you can't have an Sti
If you check after 6 months

There is no wait period after the vaccine
