They can run simultaneously, but you have to launch one after the other:
Code:
$ prog1 &
$ prog2 &

If I've understood what your asking, no, it's not necessary in that case.

Yes, that's useful in case you logout when the process is still running (avoids the HUP signal sent by the shell to its child)

Yes, and one ot the best utilities for this is also 'screen', which has many features.

There are many methods to do one thing, we can choose any we like. :-)
