Yes.

Depends on my.cnf settings.

It is not necessary if server is setup for utf-8 charset. If database is 
utf-8 and tables are utf-8 and connection is utf-8, server will expect 
utf-8 data. It is all controlled by settings in my.cnf. If they are not 
set to utf-8, it can be changed by those "SET" things.
