I know this might be a very basic question but i am an absolute noob in trading so I don't understand anything about it.....
your example gives no further clue as to what you are asking....
prices change all the time
spreads change all the time
a pip is a term used in forex and refers to a set amount which varies depending on the currecny but otherwise stays the same
so EURUSD 0.0001 is a PIP USDJPY 0.01 is a PIP
hopefully that has nailed it

Same

PIP, Point, or Tick are all different in general.

Unless you manually adjust your SL/TP for each separate symbol, using Point means code breaks on 4 digit brokers, exotics (e.g. USDZAR where spread is over 500 points), and metals. Compute what a PIP is and use it, not points.

It depends on account base currency and specific pair, for an account based in USD the pip value of EURUSD stays the same, while other pairs' pip value such as EURGBP changes as their rates change, there are several different groups of pairs, and each group's pip value is calculated using a different formula. I actually used the exact pip formula for each pair in some trade simulations, I don't remember the whole theory, but recently had to look up pip formula for EURJPY (USD denominated account with lot size 100,000), turns out the pip value in USD, for this pair is:
EURJPY pip value in USD = (EURUSD rate / EURJPY rate) * 1000 , it changes,

No, the value of a pip remains the same and is always quoted in the base currency, so EURUSD, GBPUSD etc are in USD and EURJPY, USDJPY etc are in JPY.
You are talking about conversion of an amount to an account currency which is not the same as pip values changing.
