Question #1 - Assuming the CPL you hold is ASE-AME/IR....No, the CFII is not required to be done in a multi. If it is, there are a couple of additional mandatory tasks to be accomplished.
Question #2 -Not required. Whether it's 'advisable' depends on a host of factors. So far, you haven't ever listed reasons why you are asking these questions.
Question #3 - Again, not required, and the same caveats apply on advisability.
I went the CFI ASEL -> CFII -> ME add-on to CPL/IR -> MEI route. Strictly a matter of economics. Instruction income funded the ME training. CFII has more potential customers than a CFI-ASEL.
Yes, initial CFI will be done by FSDO or one of a very few DPE's specially authorized.
If you're well prepared, it's an easy pass. My oral was about 7 hours. Flight test 1.7
Add-ons, 2/2.2 (mostly in actual) and 4/1.6 respectively.
TIme to come clean Droste...why are you asking these questions...what do you want/need?
