It would be a good idea. It will avoid confusion. People will understand you more easily.

It is not necessary to sound exactly like a native English speaker. Most non-native learners of English, even advanced learners and who have become very proficient and fluent, often retain a slight accent of their mother-tongue. This is not a problem. In fact it adds personality and flavour to the way you speak, and native speakers of English will find your 'foreign' accent quite appealing!

Not necessarily. However, get the best teacher you can. A teacher of English who is also a native English speaker will invariably have a wider vocabulary, better pronounciation and a better knowledge of the normal/natural use of the English language, and be able to provide better examples of good English speech than a Teacher whose first language is not English.
