Yes of course! It'd look silly if the host nation wasn't playing at home in the biggest football tournament ever!

Host countries are the only automatic qualifiers now. The title holder no longer gets an automatic bid.

Yes. Otherwise there will be less fans in every game and no motivation for host countries to prepare for the world cup.
