This step is not necessary.

Correct. You need to use "other language" only and only if you want 
separate content for the other language. What you should do normally, 
you should edit translated content on the same page where default 
language is located.

One more thing: you must have
	config.sys_language_mode = content_fallback
in your TS setup.

Correct. You disabled translation and you got two elements with the same 
UID on a single page.

You need to read "Frontend localization manual" on typo3.org. It can be 
prety complex at the beginning but try experimenting with your test site 
while reading. It'll become natural very quickly.

You cannot have them linked if you are going to switch to another 
language. You must edit them on the same page where default language is.
