Antarctic krill -- Euphausia superba -- form the base of the food chain in the Southern Ocean that surrounds the Antarctic continent. It is the most productive protein source on earth.
No animal 'makes its home' on the Antarctic continent.
Krill provide a bait source to catch fish. Fish is a food source common taken in Antarctica due to lack of other food sources and the soil has no ability to farm with. Also Krill are important food sources to seals and penguins.

That is a complicated question. The short answer would be some do. Any animal that eats plants is a heterotroph that depends on autotrophs for survival. In reality, every heterotroph depends on autotrophs for their survival. Any carnivorous animal will die out fairly quickly if there is no pray to eat, and animals who eat plants are the vast majority of prey.
