Yes. That prevents condensation of moisture which can interfere with the chocolate coating.
To prevent chocolate covered strawberries from sweating, make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate. Additionally, store the strawberries in a cool, dry place after they have been dipped to prevent sweating.

You can use any kind of chocolate for this--chocolate chips, chocolate bars, anything. Baker's came out with "dipping chocolate" in 2007 which was just chocolate chips in a fancy container. Chocolate formulated for melting (such as Mercken's, available in the candy-making section of most large craft stores) may be marginally easier to work with, but really any chocolate will do. Using a double-boiler is the most tried-and-true method of melting chocolate, but it's also easy to do in a microwave. There are instructions on melting chocolate on the backs of most chocolate chip bags. Generally you'll want to microwave it in a glass bowl for about 30 seconds, stir, 10 seconds, stir, 10 seconds, stir...and so on, until all the lumps are out. If it gets too stiff to deal with, just put it in for 10 seconds and stir again.

To adjust the consistency of chocolate, you can add about 1 to 2 ounces of cocoa butter per pound of chocolate. This will help achieve a smoother texture and improve flow for dipping or molding. Be sure to melt the cocoa butter before mixing it into the chocolate for even distribution. Adjust the amount based on your desired thickness or fluidity.
No. The only warning there should be is to earn you to wash the pesticides off of them before you eat them, but it's not there.
