Not necessarily. While HTML/CSS skills are certainly desirable, users with no knowledge of or interest in HTML/CSS could presumably format a document only in Book View mode as long as the formatting of the document is relatively simple. The resulting code would most likely be a bit bloated, but syntactically valid.

If the user didn't use Code View to mess with the code, Flightcrew will usually only display error messages if the source documents were HTML 3.2 formatted or otherwise syntactically invalid, and most of these errors can be fixed by simply removing attributes not supported in XHTML.

That depends on the quality requirements of the users. If they're OK with basic ePubs/mobis no further changes might be required.
