Yes you can go in and out as many times as you like.
You can either go downstairs to buy your duty free, or you can do it on board. I am not a smoker and don't find duty free prices that appealing, so can't pass comment on which is best.
You can take one guest into the Clubhouses and shared lounges, and they must be flying on VS that day.
At DXB they use the Dubai Airports Business Class Lounge, near gate 108 (Concourse 1) airside. IIRC it is a priority pass lounge and is more than acceptable.
This link will give you the latest updates ; http://www.virgin-atlantic.com/gb/en/travel-information/airport-guides/london-heathrow/clubhouse.html

Yes you can come and go as you please
Not sure what you mean by duty free. You will walk through it to get to the CH anyway and you can also leave the CH to go back should you wish - remeber your passport and BP
new updates - what do you mean?
DXB -check the VS website but as long as you are flying UC or are FC Au you are allowed one guest. You may need an 'invitation' to enter but you will be given this at the check-in desk.

We (2 persons) arrive on Monday morning with VA upper class at LHR from MIA and fly at about 2:00 PM with LH to FRA. Can we go to the VA Clubhouse? And can we take one other person with us?

No, the Clubhouse is airside and therefore only for ticketed passenger and only on VS (or SQ Suites). Also you'll be departing from T1 on LH in any case.
You can use the VS arrivals lounge however.

For the avoidance of doubt whilst UC pax can take a guest in to the CH (of the guest is flying on CS that day) they cannot take one into revivals.
