Not unless you need to or to add more flavor. You can if you want, but salt isn't good for you and you should use it as little as needed.

That depends what you are cooking and whether or not you are trying to reduce your salt intake. Adding salt to the cooking water will increase the boiling temperature just a tiny bit and it will add to the flavor of the food. It will distribute the flavor benefits of the salt more evenly than sprinkling the salt on food after it is cooked.
