Personally I would rule that the character could stand up as a move action if they succeeded on an Acrobatics check (DC 10) as per how regular movement is handled in the spell description. But is doesn't say specifically what happens if you stand up, no.
Consider, for a moment, that each square on a battle mat, IE an inch, equals FIVE FEET in game. So I think for even five feet of movement, to get out of a square of Grease, you would still have to make a check, because you're still moving through it.
Standing up, while a move action, is not movement, since you don't leave the square you started in. So you can stand up without an acrobatics check.
Note that you can stand followed by a five-foot step in the same turn, which you could not do if standing were considered movement, since you can't take a five-foot step in the same round that you have moved. You can stand and move out of a greased square without making any rolls.
That's RAW. GMs are free to house rule making it more difficult to stand or fight, but as written these things are not restricted by the spell. Keep in mind it is a first level spell.
1) No check needed, you are not moving.
2) Yes you need the check. You are moving within the area of effect; you are moving and you are within the area of effect. Difficult terrain rules do not apply as Grease is not difficult terrain.
