1. Vim remembers your last search and acts accordingly, even on a new file.

2. What you are searching for is 'zero or more matches of a digit 
followed by any character', i.e. 'anything', so it gets highlighted.

My usual trick to accomplish this is to type /aseldkfja/, where
"aseldkfja" is any short burst of random typing, and then hit return.
Your screen should return to normal.
