Obviously. Fulfillment of the Contract's effect is that you pay 800 lp and special summon a ritual monster from your graveyard, and when the equip card is destroyed, the ritual monsters destroyed. As usual with monsters who can't be Normal Summoned, the Ritual Monster must have properly been summoned first before you use Fulfillment of the Contract. You cannot simply discard a Ritual Monster and summon it with that card.
Only if the card specifically says it can summon a Ritual Monster, like Ritual Foregone. Otherwise, you can't do it, cards like A Hero Emerges, or Monster Gate, cannot special summon a Ritual Monster.Also if you summon the Ritual Monster properly, by Ritual Summon, and it is then sent to the graveyard for whatever reason, then you may bring it back to the field using cards like Monster Reborn. However you cannot simply discard a Ritual Monster from hand and try using Monster Reborn straight away, they are a form of special summon only monster, simply by being Ritual Monsters.

Nothing stops you putting a specific Ritual Monster in your deck, without its Ritual Spell Card. You are free to take monsters who you are unable to summon.

It can only be initially summoned from hand by the appropriate Ritual Card, or anything that specifically allows the special summon of a Ritual Monster (Ritual Foregone).

Setting is similar, yet not identical to normal summoning. a normal summon is when you Summon a monster onto the field in face-up attack position, whereas a set is when you normal summon a monster in face-down defense position. When a monster is set, it is not yet considered a summoned monster.
