Possible: Its possible to transmit oral or HSV1 to the genitalia like this. Might be a good idea to call your family doc or gyn and see if they would prescribe some valtrex (valacyclovir).

Herpes: usually genital herpes is a different strain of herpes from the oral variety which acts different unless the cld sore was open i do not think you should worry.

Yes: Herpes can be transmitted to the genial area by oral sex. Since this would not be a primary out break because you already have oral herpes, the symptoms would be less severe than described for primary herpes.
