NO. There is no requirement in Islam for a woman to veil beyond the hijaab. The niqab, burqa, abaya, and similar more extensive clothing are the results of culture, not Islamic Law.

Why do Shiite Muslim women have to cover their faces with only the eye region exposed?

All Muslim women are supposed to do so. It is not particular for Shiite. It is worth noting that the wearing of the niqab (which covers the front of the face) is actually more common among Sunni women than Shiite women, if only because of the laws and culture of Iran as compared to Sunni-majority Arabian countries.

Why do Muslim women choose to wear a full face veil in a western society?

Answer 1That's like saying why do Christians wear their cross round their neck in western society, it' s called RELIGION!Answer 2Covering up a person's face is a much more substantive religious act than wearing a gold cross and therefore requires a much stronger explanation. There are certainly Muslim women in western society who wear the niqab (a full-face veil) because they believe that it is the righteous thing to do, but this is not true in all cases. Many European Muslim women come from strict households where it is not considered a choice as to whether it should be worn or not and their husbands and fathers demand that they wear it. Some Muslim-majority neighborhoods in Europe intimidate and threaten non-covered women, which leads to some women covering themselves. The bottom of line is that some women in the west wear the niqab because they want to and others because they are afraid of repercussions if they do not.

Why do Muslims women wear a black dress?

Answer: Modesty in dress is a requirement for men and women. Women are to cover more than men, however. A Muslim woman is only to show her face, hands and feet. Wearing black is not a requirement. That is only a practice in some Muslim countries.
