If you are making icing, yes. If you are making a meringue, no.
Fondant
Marzipan under fondant icing makes the cake too sweet, because fondant icing makes the cake too sweet on their own. It is better to use a buttercream with less sugar.
Mix together vanilla or chocolate icing with powdered sugar.
No. You do not have to put icing under the fondant on a cake. You can bake a cake and not put any icing on it and just put fondant on it if you wish. No law forces you to put icing on the cake. With that said, How do you plan to stop the icing at the edge of the fondant? Which will you apply first? Normally sugar in the the icing causes it to stick to the cake and also causes the fondant to stick to the icing. So if you have messy people eating your cakes and do not want the fondant to fall off the plates onto the rug as they walk around the living room at a party, it would be best to use icing as a glue.

Fondant goes over icing that has been on a cake in the fridge.
Rolled-in-fat dough is generally creamed butter (it can also be shortening), with a small amount of flour added to it. It is used as the fat layer to make puff pastry, danish and croissant doughs.
2 cups to 2 tablespoons (but milk tastes better!)
Possibly to aid crystallisation to turn the sugar syrup into a 'fondant' (a substance kind of like thick white icing).
