No, not all living things need sunlight. It was recently discovered that there was a plethora of living organisms down in the deep parts of the ocean where no light can reach. These organisms were found, and presumed to be living off of, hydrothermal vents. For more info you should research hydrothermal vents.

According to recent studies, not only do they need sunlight, they make better use of it than anything we can make. Joint Research, in Shanghai, China and, Saga, Japan, has discovered, the wings of butterflies have better photoelectric properties than our best solar cells. This, they conclude, allows butterflies to fly at colder or, higher altitudes than normal. A link to the study: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/cm702458p

No, the butterfly does not have the ability to see well in the dark. These insects however can see in color and also can see ultra-violet light.
