Not that I'm aware of.  I've used InnoDB on 6.x successfully and on D7
it is the default.

Only if you plan to develop transaction based activity in a module.

One of the best features of transactions is that you commit a set of
changes but tell write the changes out normally which are cached
waiting a commit.  If the commit never occurs then the changes are
never written.  So if one of the changes aborts all the other changes
also abort.  Drupal 6 doesn't make use of this so you do not need to
do anything special.  Drupal 7 does make some use of transactions but
still you don't need to do anything special.
