Nope. You could just leave the memory at it's 200MHz stock and overclock the CPU from there. It is, in fact, quite a nice starting point. However, you've going to want to overclock your memory ultimately, as it helps just as much, if not more, as overclocking your CPU in adding performance.

No all u have to do is raise ur FSB up, and make sure ur FSB/CPU ratio is @ 1:1.
To make it 1:1 ratio just set the FSB/CPU ratio to 3/3 5/5 or 6/6. Its a horrible idea tokeep the system on Auto. The Athlon's need a equal ratio with the ram. So if u run the cpu say @ 220fsb and the ram @ 200 ur stystem performance will be cut in half since they dont like running outa sYnc with eachother.
It isnt very complicated.

Yes - theoretically (asuming your mobo supports that cpu) it should boot up at the correct frequency - though sometimes you have to manually adjust the settings in the bios to get the corect frequency. (multi and FSB)

Just follow the manual that comes with the mobo - read it properly and you will be fine.
