Does an instance ban block future posts by that user from being federated in?

Correct, future posts/comments. It’s like getting banned from every community on that instance. They also can’t send direct messages to users on that instance.

Can a user on the banning instance message the banned user? If so, can the banned user reply?

Can a user on the banning instance message the banned user?

I’ve never tried it so I’m not sure.

If so, can the banned user reply?

I’ve never tried this either, but I highly doubt it.
