Does an electric company have to buy electricity that is produced?
If it produces its own electricity, then no. If it doesn't have its own power plant, then it has to buy power from someone who does. Sometimes, if power demands are high enough so as to max out a power company's power plant, then the company will have to buy power from another source. This is what happened during the California black outs of the early 2000s. Power companies on the Western Power Grid had to buy power from the Texas Power Grid.

Yes, the wire attached to the doorbell does carry an electric current and you can get a shock if you work on it without turning off the power first. Ideally, you should locate the specific fuse or circuit breaker for that particular wire, so you don't have to turn off all the power to the whole house. Be careful; electric shock can be very dangerous.
