Once the site is uploaded and I have submitted the sitemap through the action, do I only need to resubmit when the site changes i.e. has additional pages?
Also, when I do submit, Yahoo never goes through. I suspect this is a yahoo issue, but is it the same for others?

No. Once the search engine knows about your site map it should trawl
it on a regular basis looking for updates. Submitting the sitemap a
reasonable amount shouldn’t hurt but I have seen the search engines
ignoring me while I constantly pinged their server with updates while
testing the action.
Also, when I do submit, Yahoo never goes through. I suspect this is

I’ve seen this before once or twice as the submit page waits for a
response from the server. If this happens try submitting again just to
this search engine as it often corrects itself.
