Yes and no: If it is completely blocked 24/7 then yes. If it is partially blocked (and at times completely blocked) then pain may come and go.

Not always: There are many potential causes. Cholangitis is only one possibility. In regards to bile duct cancer(cholangiocarcinoma), most present with painless jaundice.
