Does reloading the same page add traffic usage?
If one person visited once a day, how much would that use?
I've never wondered about this before because I never made a public website but now that my friends are visiting it, I'm a little concerned about going over. What happens if I do reach the limit?

You are basically referring to the term Bandwidth. Bandwidth is often used as a synonym for Data transfer rate. When your website is requested by your visitor the Bandwidth of your web hosting package/server is used. If you have more number of visitors on your website, you will require more Bandwidth.
If your website is loaded again, it will definitely require Bandwidth. It is really very difficult to calculate the amount of Bandwidth used if a person visits your website once in a day. It depends on the size of your website and the time for which your visitor stays on the website.
It depends on the web hosting company which has provided the server to you as to what they do when the Bandwidth limit is crossed. You should confirm with the Web hosting company you are looking to purchase the server from as to what they do in case the Bandwidth limit is exceeded.
If you have your server with BODhost.com, you will receive a notification before you cross your Bandwidth limits. Then, you can upgrade your package to get more Bandwidth.
