No, you do not. You only install Active Directory if the system is going to be a domain controller. If it is a member server or a standalone server Active Directory should not be installed.
"Active directory audit" is a site that offers the software for both Windows and Mac; you can also try "Active directory auditing". Both sites should have the version of the software you're looking for.

For the best performance, when an Active Directory organization contains more than 20,000 objects, you should upgrade to 64-bit. Upgrading servers that run Active Directory domain controllers and the global catalog to 64-bit improves the overall performance and scalability of your Exchange Server 2007 environment. However, 32-bit domain controllers are still supported. Lookup and response times between the Exchange 2007 categories and the Active Directory directory service will improve with the use of 64-bit. The size of the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) database that holds Active Directory can frequently be larger than 3.0 gigabytes (GB). This prevents caching of the contents of the whole database, and therefore increases lookup and response times. By using 64-bit, the available RAM for caching can be increased beyond 4.0 GB. This is large enough to cache the whole ESE database, even for large Active Directory organizations, and will improve Exchange 2007 lookup and response times.

You could try with the nbtstat command in the command prompt. You should type: nbtstat -A [machinename] or [IP address]
There's no particular requirements on how deep a directory needs to be or should be. The directory can be any depth, subject to file system limitations.
Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory domains utilize a Single Operation Master method called FSMO (Flexible Single Master Operation), as described in Understanding FSMO Roles in Active Directory. In most cases an administrator can keep the FSMO role holders (all 5 of them) in the same spot (or actually, on the same DC) as has been configured by the Active Directory installation process. However, there are scenarios where an administrator would want to move one or more of the FSMO roles from the default holder DC to a different DC. Windows Server 2003 Active Directory is a bit different than the Windows 2000 version when dealing with FSMO placement. In this article I will only deal with Windows Server 2003 Active Directory, but you should bear in mind that most considerations are also true when planning Windows 2000 AD FSMO roles
Active Directory contains information about the resources of a domain, usually available via a network. Therefore the duties and responsibilities would be for creation and maintenance of passwords, group policies of the domain, group membership of users, and other duties of that nature. 2) AS A NETWORK ADMIN, YOU SHOULD CHECK REPLICATION BETWEEN SERVERS IS HAPPENING PROPERLY OR NOT
