Usually it doesn't need to be.  Doesn't hurt, but SqueezeCenter can
usually figure out when an album is a compilation.  A more common need
for the compilation tag is to set it to 0 for albums with guest artists
that you don't want SC to consider a compilation.

The latter.  In fact, you want to avoid setting ALBUMARTIST to 'Various
Artists', or you end up with another artist in your library with that
name.

No, it's not necessary, as that's essentially the default.  But it
doesn't hurt anything either.

I have a habit of tagging every track in my library with either
COMPILATION=1 or COMPILATION=0.  And seldom, if ever, have a problem
with how SqueezeCenter identifies compilations.
