A question about Ebola and anti bodies.?
Not every person who contracts Ebola dies from it. Now my question is that if a person survives Ebola are they now immune to it?

There are different strains of Ebola. Bundibugyo virus, Sudan virus, Taï Forest virus, and Ebola virus (formerly called Zaire Ebola virus). Reston virus is an Ebola virus, but does not cause illness in humans. If you have antibodies against one strain there is no guarantee that will give you immunity to a different strain of Ebola. As to specifics, you would have to speak to a immunologist to know for sure.

From what I've read yes they are for 10 years. They even do blood transfusions from survivors to ill patients to help them along in their recovery.

Yes, they become immune - for up to about three months. Then they can get re-infected with it.
