Can a cyber attack program (like Stuxnet) be turned around, 'decoded' or something and used against other targets?

1. “It was the U.S. who attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities with stuxnet” – is that a fact, or just common belief. Maybe just one of those things that are not on record but *wink wink everyone knows it was the U.S.?

2. Once attacked, the damage is done, could Iran ‘take’ the program and use it against other systems? Does it work like that?

3. Is a cyber attack considered an act of war?

4. a side question you may be able to answer related to this topic, without me having to create another question – did anything significant come of Iran capturing the U.S drone in 2011?
