Maybe things have changed because I could not proceed past the account page during setup. You are asked for email, confirm email and password which then creates an account at Kobo. In settings, if I log out of the Account it resets the Kobo and needs to be set up again.

Bottom line is that you cannot use the Kobo without a valid account, and the account needs to remain active on the Kobo.
No. You just need to input an email address. A fake one will do. And yes you need to give Kobo a password for your fake email. A fake password. Yes it creates an account at Kobo. I just make a note of it.
