You don't HAVE to, but if you are planning on working in the computer field and want to avoid some of the mistakes made in the field in the past you might want to consider it. Also it can be interesting.
although the history of computers is relatively short in the history of mankind, more of the history of computers has been deliberately destroyed and will never be known.
As with any study of history, one important reason to study the history of computers is to understand how we got here from there and to help avoid repeating the mistakes made in the past.
You don't.
Computer history is not a compulsory subject unless you are studying computers or the history of science.

We can say that history is history when history makes sense to humnanity.

I regret to say your question is not specific enough to answer here. As written your question would take at least an entire library of books which would probably take at least a decade to finish reading, by which time several new bookcases of history would likely have been written. Prior to 1945 dictionaries defined the word computer as "one who computes", referring to a human and large businesses frequently employed several hundred of these human computers to do complicated and tedious calculations.
Hard to say as many first computers were made in the late 1930s through the 1940s. It depends a lot on what you define as a computer. Scholars in the History of Computing are still debating that issue.
