I would say so, as otherwise they'd have to turn and go through the firing ship, which doesn't sound like the most reasonable thing.

Yes.
You can't fire on a target that isn't in the arc of the weapon in question.
Core Rule book page 320: "The attacking starship can fire a weapon against only ships in the same arc as that weapon;"
This is black-and-white rules so I'm not sure why there's confusion. That same page then goes on to talk about making the attack against AC or TL (which makes it pretty clear it's the same). Now once fired, the subsequent tracking checks to move towards the target do not have any facing requirements.
Yes
