Yes. The new struts will throw off the camber; thus requiring an adjustment.

NO That depends on how the struts attach to the knuckle or control arm. On some front wheel drives an alignment is required.

It is probably a good idea to get an alignment after doing any kind of work on the front end. If you have struts on the rear and take them off it is not as big a deal but, an alignment is a lot cheaper than replacing tires that wear prematurely because they are not properly aligned.
If they are leaking, damaged, the car sits unlevel, or if after pushing down on the car the car bounces, they probably need replacing. Labor costs should be around $125 and the struts are about $100 each. A wheel alignment is recommended when replacing struts and runs about $60.
It is a good idea to get a front end alignment after replacing and part of the front suspention.
It does not have shocks on the front, it has struts. You better know what you are doing when replacing struts or you can get seriously injured. Take it to a pro.
If you changed them yourself it is recommended that you get an alignment done or do the alignment yourself. If a shop or mechanic did the work they should have done the alignment themselves.
Shocks or struts worn out, worn suspension parts, or front end out of alignment. Most likely worn shocks or struts.
Both front and rear struts, parts and labor, aprox $1,000. Extra for alignment.
Parts and labor, aprox $500 to $600 plus a front end alignment.
