Yes. There are 4 fields that should almost always be created on all modules although they are really in the vtiger_crmentity table. You can see these four in the default manifest.xml file:

https://github.com/tsolucio/corebos/blob/master/vtlib/ModuleDir/manifest.xml#L65

assigned user, created time, modified time and description

It is a POST variable when creating records using the application. If you are creating them by code, you have to "artificially" fill in the variable so the save process thinks it is being called from the web interface.

Note that the code I linked is just an example, your code will be different and has nothing to do with the Save.php file. The Save.php file is called ONLY from the application web interface, if you are creating records with your own code it will NOT get called.
$focus is the object you are saving.

Absolutely not. When your code calls the save() method, there will be no reference to the Save.php file.
