Do you need a college degree to be a composer?
Need? None at all. What you need is to write and become a pest about finding people to play what you set down. Education rarely hurts, but all that is needed is the desire to write and the patience to do it. That said, getting a college education in music, with an emphasis on composition, will greatly ease the way for you if you wish to try and make a career of composing.
Having proper musical training, among many other things, saves you from making a lot of mistakes that you must work out later. The time and money spent on a college degree seems like the hard way to do it to a lot of people. It isn't. In the long run, it is the easy way.

How were the deaf and blind treated in the 1800's?
They were written off as useless individuals who had nothing to offer to the public. They were hardly even seen as real people. Others believed that they had no strengths and would need a constant care taker, which is only true in some cases (Helen Keller is a good example of how the blind and/or deaf can accomplish more than anyone could have ever expected).
What scene is depicted in Smetana's The Moldau?
The Moldau is a beautiful piece of music which follows the Romantic form in that it is very expressive. Instead of being composed for the purpose of just 'entertainment', the Moldaupaints a picture, showing the journey of the nation's river as it winds through the Bohemian countryside (now Czechoslovakia). It was a nationalistic piece, highlighting the beauty of the river and the countryside, and nationalism was not generally reflected in musical compositions until the Romantic Era. The music gains intensity to reflect the journey of the river, beginning as a quiet stream up in the mountains, until it reaches the ocean, where the music deepens and broadens.

Yes. Mozart once composed one of his symphonies in is head, and just wrote it out. He managed to complete 114 symphonies in his very short lifetime. His contemporaries Beethoven and Haydn wrote 9 and 41 respectively, and they lived longer than him. Mozart wasn't even employed like Haydn in a royal palace, forced to output as much as possible. Mozart was so quick that he composed his first pieces before he turned 10. Imagine what would have happened if he lived as long as Beethoven?
Georges Bizet was a Romantic era composer best known for his opera 'Carmen'. He also wrote a superb symphony called 'Roma', which is unfortunately hard to find on CD, but worth the effort.
