Yes. You need to enter passwords unless they are specified in .pgpass or you have some form of authorization which doesn't require typing a password (for example, trust or ident).

Yes, you should create the target database before issuing this -- you can add a parameter to the dump to cause it to create the database, but I always feel safer creating it myself and pointing to an existing database.
