You can confess your sins anywhere - not just in a church. Confession means simply saying that you are sorry to God for the things you have done wrong -either deliberately or unknowingly, and for the good things that you have failed to do. You can do this anywhere - in your own home, on the bus, sitting in a park - anywhere.
Roman Catholics, however, regard confession to a priest as customary, and this takes place within a church setting. There is no actual 'room' set aside, although often a small booth is used with the priest sitting on one side of a panel and the confessor on the other, so that privacy and anonymity are guaranteed.
This booth is called a confessional.

No. That is a purely Catholic belief. Catholics believe that you must go through the priest to confess your sins because we are still separated from God.
