Lighting is everything.

Depends on your needs.

Off-camera flash is useful for portraiture tho. Sometimes easier when you have Commander mode like that of Nikon for fast shoot and run.

Extremely.

Maybe you actually need one or multiple (battery powered) big strobes with light modifiers. It depends.
