ETA: Because I added an avatar picture (you're welcome, @astrid lol), every time I see my own posts I don't realize it's mine. I'm so used to the generic PB avatar.

That's it?
What happened to the good old days where the trolls would either go out in a blaze of "FUCK YOU"s, or apologizing for being an ass, or claiming their neighbor logged on and posted all that stuff?

She can't, @astris blocked her from being able to post.
Do IP addresses follow the internet connection or the device or both?
They can be static, always the same, but most of the time they are randomly assigned when your device establishes an internet connection. It will change every time you change WiFi networks.
I don't know much about IP addresses, but is it possible for two people who work in the same facility or use the same library to have the same one? Or is it more like a fingerprint?
Technically possible, highly unlikely. Institutions can have a block of ip addresses and will assign them on a rotating basis to devices. The likelihood of two people using the same ip, in the same time period, in the same location on the same website is extremely small.
