Yes. Most (all?) registrars require you to submit at least one
secondary name server.

That may be possible, but it would not be a good idea.

Yes. Your ISP probably offers free secondary name service. There
are free secondary-only services available (I go with secondary.com,
which offers up to 5 domains or 50 records for free). Or you can do
it the old-fashioned way and offer to trade secondary name service
with someone else.
