No, it is not necessary to pre-book tickets - especially at this time of year. I use the trains every weekend and usually just get a ticket at the station in the morning. During the peak tourist season, and other times like Easter, you need to get tickets ahead of time. Right now, the difficult ticket would be on trains to Munich since Octoberfest starts this weekend, but there won't be a problem within Italy.
You can go to the station and buy a ticket a day or so in advance if you're more comfortable having the ticket in hand. The ticket machines have an English language interface option or you can go to one of the ticket windows.
Tickets are not cheaper paying in dollars or reserving in advance.

Florence is a superb city to pay your holyday; see more with hotelbye . Florence's museums, palaces, and churches house a number of the best artistic pieces in the world. The most popular and essential museum in Florence are: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Uffizi, the Bargello and the Accademia. Churches like: Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are veritable art galleries. In Florence you can also begin to see the vast and different artwork collection situated in the Pitti Palace. The Palazzo Pitti (The Pitti Palace) is just a large 15th century palace based on the calmer south bank of the Arno River. The palace was long time the residence of Florence's rulers till 1919, when it absolutely was passed to the Italian state, which transformed the palace in to a museum complex. Regardless of its metamorphosis, from royal residence to a state-owned community creating, the palace still holds the air and environment of an exclusive series in a great house.

You don't need to. It's quite easy to book them at the Termini on the little machines (like an ATM). However I would suggest that you do it the day before if you all want to sit together. I did this from Florence to Rome and was fine. The day of we were a little early, so we ended up seated diagnolly across the aisle from each other. Also, make pay the extra for the Eurostar. It's so much quicker.

You should be fine if you wait to get the ticket ahead of time and I say this because it is not tourist season anymore so the trains do not fill up like they do in the summer. The difference in price is not hat much if any i've learned.

If you are sure you are going to go to Venice it is not a bad idea, it never hurts to do things in advance. I went to both cities a few years ago and wish I could get back there. I hope you have a great time.
