If you're going to be getting two sticks, might as well order from same place.
If you're ordering from same place, might as well get identical sticks.

Certainly couldn't hurt.

They don't have too, no. Just save yourself the trouble and buy good ram anyway (mushkin, crucial, corsair, pny)

Off Topic is the appropriate place for highly technical questions related to computer hardware?

Yeah, it's a really good idea to match them. Mixing RAM, even though it should be fine in theory, doesn't always work properly.
