An autotransformer does not normally use any capacitors as it is a transformer with one winding and the lower voltage is taken from a tap part-way up the winding.

A capacitor could be added if there is a concern about the power factor presented by the autotransformer to the supply.

Why can auto transformer be dangerous?

(An auto-transformer can be dangerous because the primary is not electrically isolated from the secondary. If the auto-transformer is connected to mains power, this is the equivalent of sticking your fingers directly in the wall plug; not a good idea!) aka deceptacons like megatron will kill you.

Do I need tertiary winding in a auto transformer with vector YNynO?

Depends, do you need to connect auxiliaries/generator/capacitor/reactor to tertiary? If not you may consider to not to use tertiary. The 3rd harmonic current will become an issue then. The phase to ground Isc will be lower.
