The Flute actually requires a lot of air. Even more than a Tuba! This is because unlike the Clarinet, Saxophone, Oboe, Bassoon and the Brass, we do not have any resistance on our air. The reed or mouthpiece prevent the flow of excess air, and the Flute is open to the air so air is let out quite freely and breath control is needed to be learnt.

None ! A piccolo is a member of the woodwind family. You blow into it - you do not strum it.
You don't just blow, you have to blow across the hole, and get the embouchure right to actually make a note. It may take a long time to get used to. You may find that if you can play the flute, then it is slightly easier to play the piccolo, than a person playing the piccolo for a first instrument! ; ) The piccolo is the same as playing the flute,it's just smaller and harder to hit the keys. I suggest mastering the flute first.
Nope - a piccolo is part of the woodwind family. It doesn't contain a reed.
