The toilet flange is usually above the floor level. You would have to cut it off the drain pipe and cap it. How you do this depends on what type of pipe the drain is made of. Even if the drain should be below the floor level, you have to seal the drain or sewer gas will come up from the drain.

You don't have to have one, it just makes it a little easier. As long as the drain is flush with the floor, you can drill into the concrete and us anchors to hold the toilet down. The down side is that they tend to corrode over time and become stuck in the concrete. If you ever have to remove the toilet, they can break and that makes putting the toilet back harder. You can just bolt a mounting ring to the floor and use regular toilet bolts to hold the toilet. These can be easily replaced if needed.
