A supplier issues a debit note when the value or tax on an invoice turns out to be lower than it should be, and the client owes more. Common reasons:
Under GST, a debit note must reference the original tax invoice and show your GSTIN, the recipient's details, the additional taxable value and the tax on it. It is reported in GSTR-1 for the period in which it's issued, and the extra tax is added to your output tax for that period. The recipient can generally claim input tax credit on it, like an invoice.
GST law treats a supplementary invoice as a kind of debit note, so you don't need both. If you've been told to raise a 'supplementary invoice' for an undercharge, a debit note does the same job.
In everyday accounting, buyers sometimes send their supplier a 'debit note' when they return goods, meaning 'we've debited your account'. That's a perfectly normal internal document, but it isn't a GST debit note. Under GST, a debit note is issued by the supplier to increase an invoice. For returned goods, the GST document is the supplier's credit note.
So if a customer sends you a debit note for a return, issue them a credit note against the original invoice to adjust the GST.

Yes. Debit notes are reported in GSTR-1 for the period in which they're issued, and the extra tax is paid with that period's return.
A debit note increases what the client owes on an invoice. A credit note reduces it, for example for returned goods or an overcharge. Both reference the original invoice.
