No. Long distance running does not damage your knees, if you exercise some reasonable restraint. Of course, any physical activity, if overdone, can damage the body part(s) it employs and running does employ the knees. However, damage to the knees can be avoided by stopping when you begin to feel pain.

Yes. If you have bad knees, it may be a good idea to consult your doctor before going on a run.
