Answer 1

Yes, you have to have an Oracle client installed at your side.

From the cx_ORacle README

"Please note that an Oracle client (or server) installation is required in order to use cx_Oracle. If you do not require the tools that come with a full client installation, it is recommended to install the Instant Client which is far easier to install."
