The top moulding is profiled to look good and is normally painted the same colour as the ceiling.
The base board is usually a flatter plainer board that can be varnished or painted. (a colour to complement or contrast with the wallpaper or the paint of the wall)

There are no "shoulds" in decorating. Do what you like. Are you in your own home? if so, I would think it would be easier to do the baseboard than to do the crown molding. Or, maybe the crown molding isn't needed at all. If you're ready to paint the room then just remove the crown molding and plug the holes and paint the room and ceiling one color.

Do you mean should the color match? I think so, I think it looks nice and clean to have white baseboards and crown molding and a colored wall in between. But it's not necessary. However, if your molding matches the walls, it blends in, and then what's the point of having it in the first place?

That depends on how formal you want your room to be. Use a flat board for less formal, more detailed boards if you want the formality.

Here's the thing, it's your place. Do what ever floats your boat. You are the only one who has to look at it every day.

generally they do. but it is not a rule etched in stone or the likes of that. it is up to the designer.

heck no, you don't need to match them. Same color yes, shape no.

If it were, think of how limited your selection would be.
