No, but you do should have an awareness of what's going on immediately behind you, unless otherwise distracted.

That's what hearing to give you that awareness is for, something which is really under utilized in games.

Because it would probably require a very specific speaker setup. It is less bothersome to achieve similar spatial awareness through visuals.

No (headphones) and yes.
