Why is it that certain game functions trigger the same breakpoint multiple times, requiring me to click "run" multiple times on the same breakpoint?

If I have to click "play" three times while a breakpoint is set on a function, does that mean the game is calling that function three times?

If I intend to trigger a function that breaks three times using a function pointer, do I need to call that function three times for it to function correctly?

Maybe. Another possibility is that the breakpoint is set in a loop.

It depends. Learn reverse engineering and figure out what the function is doing.
