>>"How do I go about detecting if the current visitor has previously filled out a form with in a set time period (days/weeks) on a page?"
One way to determine if the current visitor (i.e., HubSpot Contact) has previously filled out a specific form (or forms) within a set timeframe is to use a HubSpot Smart List (aka: dynamic list, aka: active list). Once you build the list criteria, contacts who meet those criteria automatically become members.
- see Determine your list criteria
That being said, detection of HubSpot Contacts who visit a HubSpot (or non-HubSpot) page is another matter entirely. This is typically handled by the cookie dropped/updated during form submission. As you're probably already asking, "what if the HubSpot Contact visits our page from a device without the cookie?".
Great question. Glad you asked. 
HubSpot Contacts who visit our target page from non-cookied devices will be treated like first-time visitors. (undesirable, but no way around it)
- see Create forms
Perhaps a better solution would be to gate content based on HubSpot registration status of your contacts. This is a much more manageable and reliable method of delivering gated content. However, it requires HubSpot Marketing Enterprise.

Just a thought.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Frank
