2. Creating primes starts with high quality random numbers,
such that there are a gigantic number of possible primes.
If done correctly (like in current OpenSSL versions), the
chance of choosing the same prime as somebody else is
extremely low (again, I hope someone else on this list can
come up with the numbers for general enlightenment).
Well, seeding the PRNG correctly seems not to be a trivial task,
see e.g. http://eprint.iacr.org/2012/064.pdf and
