Does poison ivy spread through the body via blood circulation?!

No.
No it is an oil on the surface, I've had it many times.
No, the oils on the Ivy irritate your skin. So if you have it I recomend washing the area completly because if you touch someone else or somewhere else on yourbody it will spread.
No, only from exposed surface to surface
Nope...

that's about it and it just stays like on ur skin if that makes and sense.
It goes away when taken care of like going to the doctor and being put on medication.
Poison ivy only spreads while the oil is present on the skin. This ususally "wears off" within about 8 hours.

Yes, it can... I work in an antenna field full of Poison Ivy and

outbreaks of Poison Ivy on portions of skin which were totally
covered with clothing during my work day in the field. This
has happened to me on several different occasions over the
years here.
