No. Although the incumbent president is very likely to be nominated for a second term, if there is strong reason to be believe that he will not win re-election and if another attractive candidate emerges, an incumbent president can fail to get the nomination.
The tax disclosure requirement for a presidential candidate in the United States is currently not a legal mandate. However, it has become a norm for presidential candidates to release their tax returns as part of their transparency and accountability to the public.

The VP is elected in the same manner as the president, but separate votes are cast for the VP and president. Just because a presidential candidate is elected does not mean his/her VP running mate must be elected, although this usually happens.
