Icing sugar is about 160 grams per cup. So that is about 2 cups.

Yes. Just not too much
That is about 4 cups.
icing sugar in a bowl then a bit of butter - a teaspoon or less and then a small amount of cocoa - a tablespoon? depends on how much icing sugar you use but just make it to taste. then boiling water and mix until it is the right thickness for you.
There are many types of icing and frosting, the amounts of sugar for each vary. Please see the links below for a wide variety of icing recipes, many of them simple to do.
i just use icing sugar, about a tablespoon of cocoa depending on how much icing sugar you use, a small amount of butter about a teaspoon and boiling water. just add more water or sugar to make it the thickness you want.
Icing cake :/
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.
basicly what dirty icing is, is when you ice the cake with a thick icing and dont rub it to even it out
