You have to sign a paper that states you no longer hold any one liable.

No, you settled. Its very similar to double-jeopardy.

No. A settlement is understood to conclude any and all issues between you stemming from the original incident.

Not likely. Before the settlement was reached, emotional distress, and all of the ailments you went through was included, if your attorney was diligent.
