No. Unless you are specifically asked for it by a teacher!

It depends on the reason or objective for which the essay is to be written. The structure quoted in your question will suit most cases but you don't always have to write or give sub-heading of Introduction, body, conclusion etc. It is very important to choose the title suitable for the topic of your essay. When including extracts or quotes or ideas from different sources, you must give references.The following site provides detailed guidance for writing essays.

However, if you have to write essay by hand BASIC RULES FOR WRITING FORMAL ESSAYS as given on the following site may be helpful. But note that you don't have to follow all the rules. Try to develop your own style but your expression must be clear, simple and easily understandable.

no you don't write all that separately.you just divide your essay into paragraphs.first paragraph is intro, last is conclusion.
