No, those terms are always included.

I have no clue.
But the easy way to find out is to take your system with only N->DUM
and do two runs of zero steps at two different lambda values and see which 
energy term
in the log file has changed.

As long as you are working with bio-molecules, the optimal soft-core parameters
are the same for all force-fields.
