no you don't have to refrigerate the jelly. Mostly the companies that make the jelly say that you have to refrigerate it because if someone were to get food sick from something (anything, not even the jelly) then its likely in this day-n-age of sueing that the jelly company will be sued because they didnt promote "good health" (much like mcdonalds having to put the caution warning that their hot coffee can burn because some manipulative woman in the early 90s sued McDonald for burning herself while drinking the coffee and "not knowing that it would burn". The real reason that you don't have to refrigerate jelly after opening it is because there is a high level of sugar (obviously) and when bacteria get in it (and they get in anything regardless if its refrigerated or not) they die because they lose water from their cells as the water goes to the sugar to satisfy homeostatis (an equillibrium for water concentration). When they lose enough water they shrivel up and die. This is something that the average microbiology student should know but they tend to still refridge it out of habit, much like refrigerating butter (you also don't have to refrigerate this, LOL! for real!)

Although one doesn't need to refridgerate butter, by doing so it will go rancid less quickly.Yes. If you do not refrigerate jelly you can receive salmonella poisoning from the heat of the jelly.

Without proper refrigeration, Jello will not "set" nor retain it's shape. If you leave jelly out on the counter for a couple hours, you will need a straw to consume it, instead of a spoon or fork.

To add on to what has been said, the process of cooling the liquid/powder jello is called Congealing. This process typically means that the density changes without losing it's shape, which allows the jello to stay solid after being cooled.

If you are planning on eating the Jell-O it is best not to store Jell-O at room temperature for an extended period of time that has been made from box Jell-O. There are pre-made Jell-O cups that are suitable for room temperature storage available from several manufacturers.
