Not required. But of course can be handy. Point is there are multiple tech stacks involved in a product. How many will you learn? High level understanding of the product should be enough.

Totally depends, but mostly No. Having the skills would be a plus though.

Not really. As long as you understand enough to not get lost in a basic conversation you'll be fine.

When having career discussions (with a HM or your current boss), how has everyone handled job-titles that weren't "Product Manager" but you were performing the functions/role?
