No. That requirement only extends to the office of President.
Henry Kissinger under Nixon and Ford was not born a citizen of the United States.
The constitution states that members of the United States House of Representatives must be at least 25 years old, a citizen of the United States for at least seven years, and be a (legal) inhabitant of the state they represent.
Senators must be at least 30 years old, a citizen of the United States for at least nine years, and be a (legal) inhabitant of the state they represent.
The President must be at least 35 years old, a natural born citizen of the United States and a resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.

Which State? Each State mandates it own laws for its govt structure. Anywhere, though you need to be here legally and meet the registration requirements . Check with the State recorder of Voter registrations for details on how to apply for Govt positions and the necessary info to run for an office.

No. The President chooses their cabinet (at their discretion), of which SoS is one position. As Big Jon mentioned, Henry Kissinger was not American born. Neither was Clinton's SoS, Madeleine Albright, who was born in Prague.
