Only the one on top level is relevant in this case. So it must be the same 
level where the following files and folders are:

fileadmin
_.htaccess
index.php
t3lib
typo3
typo3conf
typo3temp
uploads

Notice the _.htaccess. This file has to be renamed to .htaccess in order to 
work.

Not really, but if you want to use certain features, you have to make sure 
that all requirements are meet.
For the extensions realurl to work, you must have query rewriting properly 
set up. The easiest way is to rename the file like said above.

Other extensions have other dependencies, you must read the manual shipped 
with (most) extensions.

Best regards
