Question about commit

I have a question about oracle commit and transactions. Following scenario:
Process A performs a single sql-INSERT into a table and commits the transaction. Then he informs process B (ipc) to read the new date. So process B starts "select ..." but does not get the previously inserted row. The timespan between commit and select is very short. (NOTE: two different sessions are used)
Questions:
1.) Does commit when returning from call ensure, that all changes are
immediatelly visible to all other Sessions/transactions?
2.) Does commit ensure only that all data is stored persistent, but
changes are deferred visible to other transactions?
3.) May the "select ..." cause the problem? Other than dml statements a
select does not start a transaction. Would "select for update" instead
solve the problem?
