You don't HAVE to, but you'd be missing out on a lot of important character development and plot points. Plus, the original series is awesome!
Yes, you should. Trust me, I started with Shippuden and had to backtrack to get all the context. It's worth it!
Honestly, no, you can pick up Shippuden without watching the original. You'll figure it out!
Some say you can skip it and just read a summary, but honestly, you'll appreciate Shippuden much more if you watch Naruto first.
