If your site processes or stores CC info you must be PCI Compliant ( <= it's a link, click it to read more).

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

As long as you use a credit card processor that uses the methodology that the customer is transferred to their own site to complete the credit card transaction then no, you do not absolutely need one, but your customers will demand it. In this case you can use a shared one.

Avoid the most asked question. See How to Secure My Site and How do I...?
