One of the side effects of the combined oral contraceptive pill is irregular bleeding. I suspect that you have been spotting as opposed to having frank bleeding for over a month. Anyway, its time to see your doctor to discuss this. He or she would be able to assess you, take some investigations and then advise you what to do next.

In my opinion it is a known side effect which does resolve over time. Only that i think you should not just rely on advice from here as I have not seen you, taken any history from you nor examined you properly and only someone who has can give you reliable information. Go see your doctor. Cannot stress this enough!

Protected intercourse is needed within 7 days of starting an COCP and after that you are protected. But be sure to follow the advice regarding what to do when you miss your pill and if ever in doubt, use protection.

No. But certain antibiotics and other medications will. You must always inform your doctor that you are on birth control when he prescribes you a medication. Then he can advise you properly. Sometimes, just use a condom for a week when you are taking certain antibiotics. The commonest culprit that reduces the efficacy of OCP that i have seen so far is anti tuberculous medications.
