Answer 1

NO.
You don't need to restart the system, but just the application like cmd or any IDE you are using for java development (i.e Eclipse) need to restart.

And to confirm that the java path is set that you have mentioned in JAVA_HOME environment variable, you can open cmd and you can check with commands echo %JAVA_HOME% or echo %PATH%.
