    Hello;
    When I have made a new sitemap, shall I give it a new name and send it to google this way, or shall I give it the same name and replace the old one with it?

    It is always advisable to keep updating your sitemap as and when you have updates happening on your website.. You should always replace the old sitemap with the newly created one.

    You should replace your old sitemap & submit to google webmaster tools.

    When I remove the old sitemap, replacing it with the new one, the number of sites indexed by google seems to decrease. Does that happen to you?

    you should remove your old site map first after that upload new sitemap. more over you cant rename your sitemap.it must be"sitemap".if you upload new one it will automatically replace the old one.
