Yes, the traffic following behind you needs to what your vehicle and trailer combo are doing or where they may be going. As far as i'm aware, you do need a number plate on it too.

In Tennessee If the trailer does not obstruct the view of the taillights on the pull vehicle, you wouldnt need lights.
Also, Only if the trailer is longer than 18 foot do you need a plate.
But, from the sounds of this question. You aren't even in the states, let alone Tennessee

Some state used to allow only reflectors on very small trailers that didn't block the car/truck taillight, but since almost nobody goes small, all basically require tail and brake lights. Everyone requires licenses.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, YES.
You will also have to mudguards or something similar which will protect other road users, eg cyclists, from coming into contact with it's wheels. Before you scoff at this consider that you could be expensively prosecuted if a cyclist wobbled and bumped your trailer (whatever the circumstances) and one of the rotating wheels hit him.

In Florida - definately. Probably so in most other states. Always think safety.
