You "should" notify ATC of any failures or even warnings that you get while flying IFR... you obviosly dont need to if you have a sufficient backup but it would be good for them to know anyway... things such as altimeter, compass, radios and Autopilot are things that ATC really needs to know about...

Legally, none. We have manuals for power settings with unreliable airspeeds/Vref speeds/fuel burn etc. If the weather is ok we just do a visual approach. In practice, we'd tell them.
