If the vehicle doesn't require a CDL and the vehicle is registered in that state, no. If the vehicle requires a CDL, yes. Vehicles falling under exemptions such as the farm truck exemption or emergency vehicle exemption vary by state.

I'm not sure of any minimum age restrictions, but it's a bit pointless to get if you're under 18... you need a DOT medical card for any vehicle requiring a CDL, and for any CMV with a GVW of 10,001 - 26,000 lbs. operating across state lines. In PA, you can't do either at 16 or 17.You don't need a permit or a license to actually get a medical card.
