The quick way for a single server is:

# perl -MCPAN -e'install DateTime::TimeZone'

No.  You need to update if you're likely to process timestamps that are
affected by the latest updates.  Whether you're affected depends on what
version you're currently on and (obviously) what kind of work you do.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much of a changelog for the
Olson database.

It won't hurt to upgrade anyway.
