Why was it denied? What was the stated reason? If you apply again, whether you have to pay or not, you have to know whether you can overcome the initial reason for denial.

USCIS does not do billing, it simply does not accept an application without a payment of the filing fee. And it does not refund the fee if the application is denied: the fee is for consideration of the application, not for its approval.

Yes. The fee is paid to process the application before a decision is made.
