Normally, Asterisk honours DNS TTL and will re-lookup hosts as soon as the TTL is expired.
If you can't wait for that to happen, you can enable the builtin DNS manager and configure a refresh interval for DNS records to expire.
See "dnsmgr.conf" for the latter one.

Not as far as I know.
If you enabled SRV lookups for Asterisk, you may also want to check possibly existing SRV records for your host since Asterisk then looks them up first.
