I don't think so The answer to this question varies depending on where you live. There are 2 places you need to check before you can determine whether you need a fence or not. The first place you want to check is with you local department of inspections or other government body. The second place you need to check is your homeowners insurance company. If you do need a pool fence be sure to pick one that meets the new national pool code. For more information visit my blog listed in the links below.

Different cities have different codes, so you'll want to be sure to check with them and see what is required, if anything. Personally, I like the look of wrought iron Fencing; and it's good, because kids can't climb over it as easily as they can a chain link fence.

That varies city by city. Some places require you to have a fence either around your yard, or around your pool, while others do not. Check with city ordinances.

Absolutely, just like an in ground pool, leaves, bugs, etc can get into it. A pool cover is just to protect the pool water from those sorts of things.
