Hi Arshad,

1: On ASA the Active device continues to be in Active state unless you manually trigger failover or the conditions for failover are met in the network. In other words there is no preemtion in terms of active firewall.

2: Your second requirement seems to be Active/Active configuration of ASA. This supported in multicontext mode. In this mode you can create groups of context and choose individual units to have either or all groups in active state.

Refer following link for more details about failover:
