It is normal. Coinbase don’t recycle the address which is a good thing. It provide you anonymous feature, but of course you can use the old addresses if you want. You can find them under the addresses tab.

Well, technically yes, that's normal. If your old wallet has coins in it them you're going to use that one, otherwise, you can use the new wallet or private key that they're generated for you. if you still confused then you can contact the Coinbase support.

So I want to request an ETH payment from a site were I have put the wallet address a month ago.

Today when I request the ETH address again to compare if is everything is ok I notice that today's address is different than the other I got a month ago!

Is this normal? Can I request the payment or I have to edit the address?

This is done for security, re-using address is slightly dangerous. Though you can still re-use your old address. Once the address is generated, it's yours to use permanently.

I think this is the second time this happens... is the second time I request a payment but this time I saved the adress Coinbase gave a month ago to compare.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

Any address that generates your coinbase wallet/account is from your own wallet, it means that you can still receive those funds sent to your address(previous and new generated address).
Read this article with coinbase.
