No: It is definitely not normal to feel like you're going to faint this long after donation blood. Get checked out by your physician.

No, not normal: Your body replaces the fluid loss within a few hours, and the red cells over the following few weeks. The quantity lost (/donated) should not impact you in that manner. See your dr for an evaluation to see what is going on.
