You dont have to but it would be respectful if you did. Its better to not burn bridges in your past or they may haunt u in the future.

If you are working through a temporary agency, the agency should have provided you with a packet explaining the proper ettiquette for the situation, and also what the temporary agency requires.
Just remember that you're making important business contacts even if you don't like the current position. Do your best job, and you could get strong references even for a job you didn't particularly like. Also, you'll get favorable reports to the temp agency that will help you to find more positions in the future.
Also, some temporary agencies have strict policies regarding the minimum amount of notice to employers before leaving a position. If you don't follow the temp agency's policy, you may not be eligible for future positions with the agency, and if you need the agency again in the future (even if going to a position outside the agency now) you may get slower placement.
Usually, with a temporary situation, a day or two's notice is sufficient, rather than the traditional two weeks.

No, and neither do full-time employees. Not many employers give their employees 2 weeks notice, so the employee doesn't have to either. It never has, and never will hold up in court. However, if you're looking for a recommendation from the company, you best better be as nice and professional as possible.

It really depends how temporary you are. If you are on casual basis, then no. Did you sign a contract? If you did then check it cos it will say so. If you didnt sign a contract then walk on out, they cant touch you.

they probably don't have to, but it would be smart to give notice. If their next job calls for a reference and is given a bad recommendation they might not get another job too easily

It depends, on your agreement! I've know people that had temp jobs and got a call and just walked off the temp job when they were called. One of them even got hired back when he didn't like the other job.

No they are temporary........but depending on the length of the position it would be polite......if you want to quit because they are being jerks it would be wise to discuss it with your supervisor.

They should. It looks better on your work record. The exception to this is if you are being harassed and in a hostile work environment.
