No, you do not need a baking sheet and yes, you may use the round baking pan.
You can use a round baking pan to bake the cake in. Although, the baking times will vary drastically. You may have to bake the cake between 45-50 minutes using a round baking pan. Using a baking sheet only cuts back on the cooking times. But, yes, you may use the round baking pan.
As to puting the batter in the baking pan....Just pour it.
BE SURE TO EITHER GREASE AND FLOUR IT OR OIL IT!!!
As to make sure it doesn't burn, watch it closely. Check on the cake minutes before the timer goes off. The baking times are NOT specific and vary depending on elevation, the heat within the oven and other little tid-bits. Also, MAKE SURE NOT TO EVER OPEN THE OVEN!! Doing so causes the cake to "dip" in the middle. The massive loss of heat can ruin a cake in seconds.
Good-luck and Happy Baking!

You grease and flour your baking dish. Then just pour the batter into the baking dish. However, if you do not use a pan with the dimensions mentioned in the recipe, or on the box, your timing will be off. You will need to determine how long to bake it. A long toothpick, or bamboo skewer, or clean straw (from a new, unused broom) when inserted in the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
It is really better with the right equipment. But, you can wing it.

The only time I use a baking sheet under a cake pan is when I'm using my silicone bake ware - and the only reason I do that, is because it's easier to get out of the oven.
You don't need a separate baking sheet. If you do want to use one, it won't cause your cake to bake any differently.
As for your cake burning - it shouldn't. Not if you're following a recipe, and going with the shortest amount of time allotted, then checking it.
If you're cake is still burning, re-check your temp. If it is correct, you might need to have your oven re-calibrated - it's possible that the thermostat is not working correctly.
Good luck!

No, a baking sheet would just be under your baking dish to catch any spill over, and cakes won't spill over if you leave at least a couple of inches for them to rise.Most box recipes have time and temps; for several different pan sizes. For instance, 2- 9" pans or one 13x9 inch pan.
Just take a look at it after the minimum baking time and go from there. It should spring back lightly in the middle when it is done. Also it ususally is golden brown at least around the edges. I have cooked cakes in many different pans. I would grease or use non=stick spray first though.you DON"T need flour.

If you're asking if you need a baking sheet to put under your cake pan -- the answer is no. I never use one, and my cakes always turn out fine. Typically all an extra baking sheet does is catch any spillage.
