Yes. I think it was 8000 points, but I'm not sure.
Sim points may be purchased from The Sims 3 Online, and some retail stores (ex. Best Buy) sell Cash Cards for $10. EA has given no indication that Sim points may be "earned" within the game at some point in the future.
No, It only costs if you buy Simpoints or games. If you have another EA game you already have a Sims 3 account.
