No. The Nintendo 3DS has it's own selection of 3DS games but it can still play Nintendo DS and DSi games. Also, the Nintendo eShop has a Virtual Console which allows you to play games from the NES, N64 and GameBoy.

No, you do not, but the option will be available.

The Nintendo 3DS is backwards compatible and can play Nintendo DS games. Also, preinstalled software as well as paid applications can be played on the Nintendo 3DS.
