They were showing me 50-60 seconds unskippable ads (not the regular Prime Video ads) in the morning before the video start, and there even was one ad-break during the movie/show which was again 50-60 seconds unskippable ad.

Right now, seeing 15 seconds unskippable Prime Video ads before the start and then nothing.

Edit- Seeing 40-60 seconds ads again now. Also, one ad between the video.

one ad-break during the movie/show

What if we close it immediately then open it again? We have to see the ad again or the movie/show resumes immediately?

Ad appears again. Ads also often changes, so if you had to watch 15 seconds ad before you reopened, you might have to watch 50 seconds ad next time.

I have an annual membership of Amazon Prime for ₹1499. Right now it is still showing me ads on Prime Video. I thought of taking ad free subscription in my existing membership and it is charging me again ₹699. But why is this so?

That's the new model. You need to pay ₹699 on top of Prime to avoid ads.
