Hydrochloric acid and potasium help alot
Chlorine is what is usually put in pools to keep them clean and to kill the bacteria living there. http://www.ehow.com/list_6709916_chemicals-do-need-pool_.html
Take a sample to a pool store with a "water chemistry certified" tech. They can tell you exactly what is missing. Normally pools need stabalizer, chlorine, acid and soda. Extra chems are used to rid or avoid problems
The fact that it is iodized means that it has one or the other of those chemicals in it. There is no need to test further.
No you only backwash your pool when your filter pressure on your filter is high 30psi and above on most pools. If you backwash your pool be sure to add two scoops of de to your skimmer. If the presure is still high the u need to clean the filter
Pools that are on well water tend to be more of a change than city managed water. To deal with the addition of fresh well water to your pool with eiether a newly filled pool or using to replace evaporated water yoy must have your water tested. Some on the minerals in the ground some areas are high in iron (which will cause a brown staining on white plaster pools), calcuim ( causes white buildup and roughens plaster), and a host of others. The good news is that all of these minerals are easily treated with chemicals to counteract the mineral or remove it. Take a water sample to your local pool store, they usually test for free and they can tell you what is in your water and what you need to correct your water chemistry.
All pools need something to help keep it clean and safe. Chlorine has long been the sanitizer of choice. Saltwater is no different, as the charged cell breaks down Salt in the water into Chlorine.

Filters and chemicals work differently. You'll need both. The filter removes particulate from the water, which makes it clear (which makes you happy). The chemicals act by reducing the amount of microorganisms growing in the water. The chemicals work first and the filter sweeps up after them. For a private pool you can use less of the chemicals than are usually used in public pools.
yes, they do need saltwater to live.
No, it will affect the pH of your pool. You need to look at the chemicals calcium harness, as well as any metals in your water.
You need to use chemicals in all pools regardless of size. This prevents all kinds of NASTY things from happening. Your local pool supply store can help with the type and amount needed
you need 'water ice' , dust and other chemicals
