Do you need an account?
As far as I am aware, yes.
yes, afaik
A OSM account, yes. You can join with OpenID if you want.
To contribute changes, yes. You still can share information as an anonymous user with OSM Notes, but then you need to be clear and a bit exhaustive. You can add a note that says "7-eleven" and a mapper can easily add it later, but for a restaurant called "The Coast", for example, you need to explicitly write in the note that it is a restaurant serving seafood, details of the address and opening hours would be great too.
