Does anyone know the chance of this?

Yes the newborn baby can get this from the mother.

No, but if the mother is infected and gives normal birth, the baby may have it all over its body.

Yes, the baby will get the genital herpes through passing the birth canal, that is why most of the physicians prefer to do Cesarean for the women with genital herpes.
