• If you are going to install Windows, yes. Otherwise it is not necessary since your computer is going to read the disk anyway. In case you are going to use that disk as data, there is no problem.

• Yes, you need to format a new hard drive or SSD before you can store data on it. This is called "initializing" the drive.
