Answer 1

Depends on how big your inventory is, of course. It's different on a case to case basis.

In a small variety store, probably not worth the effort o keep track of every piece of inventory. However, for something that requires frequent restock, like hardware store, or online sale, then you really *do* need to know how much inventory you have exactly at any time, then barcodes are almost a necessity.
