When multiple clients establish SSL connection to  same server, does server generate/use same certificate(with same public and private key) for every client connecction or different certificate for each client connection?

Its uses the same cert for server authentication, compare it with a passport when you travel overseas. you use the same passport, no matter what country you go to.

Testing it by going to a site on 2 machines with different AD users, and comparing thumbprint and serial number of the cert, it looks like it uses the same cert for the site for both users.
