Yes but only if you're under 14, failure to do so could result in your parents, trainer or instructor being fined 30-50 Euros, unless of course your surname's Berlusconi! )
More likely to get grief because you are not carrying a Transceiver, Probe and Shovel )
Maybe, but they are bugger all good if you are by yourself.
I'm buying an ABS rucksack for the European winter, or the more recent Swiss version. I forget the make but they are owned by Mammut now. Still not an ideal solution for solo riding, but better than anything else, other than not doing it.
It's a Snowpulse I think. The general idea with the kit, is that in the event of seeing a slide, you help dig out others less fortunate.

Is it true that now a helmet is legally required when skiing/boarding off-piste in Italy?
Seems a bit of a fudge to me, if I nip over the border for a quick bowl of pasta and a glass of Chianti I must carry a helmet all day just in case I want to nip off the side for few minutes. Cheeky.

Well, that's logical I guess. Applyingthe logic it has personal benefit too. SnowPulse, that's the fella, still can't get a coherent answer on if you can fly with the cartridges in the hold. Some say absolutely not, others say European carriers will if you declare them. Seemsva bit dishy washy.
