“When an airline makes a decision to connect you with a flight that has a 45-minute connection, it probably has you in the same concourse, or a concourse over,” Mayers says. “It knows that you will have enough time to get to your gate.”
Depends on the airport, distance between gates, and whether you are going from a domestic flight to an international flight or not. If it's on the same airline, and both flights are domestic, chances are, the gates are in the same terminal so assuming the first flight isn't delayed, you should be fine.
If your itinerary was purchased as one ticket (as in: you have only one itinerary and one confirmation number), and the connection time was too short and you miss the second (or third) flight, you can rest easy, no matter what happens. The airline will simply put you onto the next available flight, free of charge.
Domestic flights - Yes. Keep in mind you will have to go through security again, which may cause you to miss your flight depending on how long your layover is.
Generally speaking, most airlines will make some kind of efforts to wait for delayed passengers on a connecting flight, though this is not necessarily guaranteed.

terminal 3 has a number of concourses. 35 mins is not a lot of time to make it from the end of one to the end of the furthest one in the worst case scenario. then u have to add in the time taken to get off your arriving plane even if it is on time and when they will close the doors of your departing one.
Generally, the first three terminals are considered domestic terminals and are easily traversed. All three of these terminals are connected by pedestrian walkways, making them so much easier to cross than having to wait for transportation to take you to them.
It's a long walk from F to C, including having to take the underground walkway between B and C (with escalators down and up), I'd say 15-20 minutes. But there is a shuttle bus from E to C, which could save a few minutes.
Airlines don't usually hold connecting flights for delayed passengers. That could be changing. United's new Connection Saver tool automatically places a hold on some outbound flights, but it could cause further delays.
The time between connecting flights can be pretty short – as little as 40 minutes for some airports. The airline is aware of your connection and will sometimes tell you which gate you need for your next flight. They might even offer assistance if you have a short connection time.
35 minutes is tight given that they close the gates for flights 15 minutes before departure. At the same time, airlines offer these because most of the time they are doable. This means there is 20 minutes for you to make it from the plane to the next gate.
If you have a layover and both flights are part of the same itinerary and booked on a single ticket, you typically do not need to check in again. Your checked baggage is usually tagged through to your final destination, and you would proceed directly to your connecting gate after going through security.
