Does a person require CPR if they are unresponsive but is breathing adequately?
You would only administer CPR if the person does not have a pulse or (at a slightly lower place on the chest) if you knew/believed the person was choking. Otherwise, if the person has a pulse but is not breathing, you should administer rescue breaths.
What is the best position for a casualty when attempting to maintain airway?
The best position depends on other issues the victim has. If the victim is conscious and suffering from a shortness of breath, it will be much easier to sit him/her upright.
