No.
Here are some more words to make the answer long enough to go beyond the 30-character minimum.

While it isn't possible with notepad, there are many notepad replacements. They usually have this feature. Notepad++ is my personal favorite, and the one I'd recommend.

Other than closing and reopening the file...
You don't have to close the file. Use file>Open or Crtl+O to reopen the file. That way you don't have to open a new instance of notepad.
Other than that, I agree with everyone else. Use a different editor.

No, however if you use other Notepad alternatives like, Notepad++ it will notify you if the file has been altered since opened.

If you want to watch a file as it is actively being written to, then you want a program capable of following it such as baretail.
