In my experience yes but they may give you a percentage off for a second car just nowhere near full no claims discount.

Will depend on what the van is used for. If just for social domestic, .i would have thought that they will offer you a reasonable quote as you can’t be driving both at the same time! If van is used for business, then a whole different ball game.

What about things you smell, taste & hear?
And then there's the vestibular system which could be useful esp for driving a van!

If you have a private car policy then you might get matched bonus. This would be an introductory discount that matches your existing no claims but you wouldn't be able to take it with you if you left that insurer (you'd leave with what you earned). Look to your own insurer first because they are most likely to offer you something.
If you get a commercial vehicle policy (much much cheaper if you have a van) you won't get the matched bonus. You can still have social, domestic & pleasure only on a CV policy but it is a stripped down version of car insurance so don't expect any breaks or bonuses
Either way it's not something you are entitled to, nor will every insurer see it the same way. Driving a transit is different to, say, a hot hatch and so being claim free on one doesn't mean you'll be claim free on the other.
No claims is something marketing people love but pricing people hate because it sounds really good to the customer but is a poor indicator of the probability and cost of future claims (mostly because its distorted by protected bonus and bonus for life and accelerated bonus deals).
