IANAL and I do not know, yet, would you will do with this software in
detail, so I am not able to give you 100% excactly answers.
Since mlt is using/depending on ffmpeg, this is no problem (and
mlt<->ffmpeg licenses are compatible).
Do you sell/publish only the videos produced by some product
using/depending on mlt or do you also (plan) to sell/publish the
producing (mlt using) software?
If you only publish/sell/whatever the results (video/audio/building
scripts) you do not have to worry.

You do not have to sign any contract, but you should be aware of the
{L}GPL used here.

Sorry I did not understand your sentence completly, would you be so
kindly and rephrase it?

No, but you are not allowed to remove copyright/license marks done by
the author.

An lawyer :)
From my Debian education I have got very good knowledges about open
source licenses (and what is not free / and forbidden), but I can not
take over the job of a lawyer.
