Yes, you can substitute icing sugar with fondant icing sugar to make fondant icing, as both are powdered sugars.

If you are making icing, yes. If you are making a meringue, no.
No. You do not have to put icing under the fondant on a cake. You can bake a cake and not put any icing on it and just put fondant on it if you wish. No law forces you to put icing on the cake. With that said, How do you plan to stop the icing at the edge of the fondant? Which will you apply first? Normally sugar in the the icing causes it to stick to the cake and also causes the fondant to stick to the icing. So if you have messy people eating your cakes and do not want the fondant to fall off the plates onto the rug as they walk around the living room at a party, it would be best to use icing as a glue.
Fondant is best for outdoor weddings.

I have no idea about the cost of fondant. However, you can make an at-home version of fondant by melting icing to a liquidey consistency or by applying icing as it is from the tub to a still-hot cake. This will cause the icing to melt, but as you layer it, it will cool and form an icing that is more consistent with fondant, than the thick spread that is usually on cake.
