In MANET (mobile ad hoc networks), wireless nodes can communicate together without any access points.
Should I still consider hostapd for each wireless node in my simulation?

If you aren't running it, probably isn't needed. I mention it only because you had used the word 'wireless'. And there is a patch around for hostapd to talk properly to ovs.

I only run OVS on each node; however, it seems that I have to configure something to allow nodes to know about the mac address of each other

a quick google for 'manet arp' indicates something like:

So depending upon the devices you have, the bridging/repeater mode of your node(2) may have issues.

Maybe a manet mailing list might have an answer?
