now you got a little taste for growing, you should start sowing other types of seeds if you can :)

ok...
6 months later. never got more shoots
it just got tall and woody
ive been keeping the flowers pinched off but it really wants to flower this time so im gonna let it

thinking it will produce seeds i can plant in the pot with it and get some better leaf producing plants

will a basil self propagate this way?

I've never had a basil self sow ever, and I've grown tons of the stuff. There might be a way, but it won't happen on its own.
