If you owe money on a home you should hold title. A deed is the document that is publicly recorded. It signifies that you have an ownership interest in the real property described in the deed. It is not required that you have a deed, but it is not technically your house if you do not have a deed since you are not on title. It is not good to have a mortgage on a home that you don't own. Typically this can only occur if you sign a Quit Claim Deed that takes you off title. When you purchase a house it is the most critical part of the transaction since it is the document that actually transfers ownership.

No. Every owner in the history of a residential property has a deed. Generally, the grantee on the most recent deed is the current owner and only the current owner can sell the property. A prudent buyer will arrange to have the title examined through their attorney to determine whether the present owner has clear title to the premises.

If your deed for the property was properly recorded in the land records you don't need the original deed in order to sell the property. You can obtain a copy at the land records office.
