No. Humans and all other species for that matter did just fine before olive oil was commercially available.

I believe so. Even Weight Watchers requires 2 teaspoons of olive oil daily. (You can also mix your olive oil with balsamic vinegar and have it with bread, Italian style.)

Technically No, However there are alot of benefits to the consumption of Olive oil. It contains alot of nutrients and good fats that lower cholesterol. I would say you do not have to but you would be better off if you did.
4 :
Many vitamins and minerals are fat soluble. So if you are having a salad you can put olive oil and balsamic on it to increase your absorbtion of these vitamins and minerals. The olive oil will benefit the other food you eat. So olive oil will give you benefits either way, but you will get other benefits from combining it with food.
