Well, this is not connected to FOSS. Its merely a standard procedures for
creating reports. But these are more like guidelines not laws. I think you
can find a lot of such tips or guidelines in the internet.

Normally we give intend to the first line most probably a single tab
spacing, but not necessarily the center. Either you can set this in the
paragraph settings, or press "Tab" key & start writing a paragraph...

Is it necessary to start a paragraph like this?

Not necessary, but its always good to start a paragraph like that...

The "justified' alignment gives a better appearance to your report. Just
have a look at your text books, all the paragraphs will be aligned justified
to get a pleasant appearance. So this has become a tradition like everything
else...

Like I said these are not rules, but guidelines. But if you are submitting
an academic report then you are supposed to follow the procedures as
directed by your instructors.
