Always on the server side, although your driver may do something as well.

No

You want to send an array of values to the same query, so it can be
prepared once, like so:

SELECT abc, efg
FROM docloc a
JOIN collection b USING (collection_name)
WHERE a.column1 = ANY($1)
AND a.stage_id = (
select max(stage_id) from collection_pit c
where c.collection_name = a.collection_name
and c.pid_id < $2 and c.stage_code = $3
);

Then you can always pass in three arguments, the first being an array of
all the column1 values you want.

You might also want to get familiar with plan_cache_mode:
