Cascading Style Sheets is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g. fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents. Knowing how to read and edit the raw code is always useful when creating professional web pages.

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. They are used to dynamically generate pages for constantly updated websites such as Yahoo Answers, or any site that has thousands of unmoderated pages. Pages are generated using a script that grabs the actual text data from a database, and then the style information from a CSS page. An admin can change the look of the whole website, then, by simply modifying the CSS file.

CSS is “cascading style-sheets”. CSS was invented to make HTML suck less. It is useful for defining styles and layout of various HTML elements.

I’m sure Dreamweaver uses CSS at some level. Most “visual designer” web page software doesn’t like it when you edit files manually.

It’s good to know CSS but Dreamweaver already uses it when you edit text

One of the big advantages of CSS is that you can attach the same “style sheet” to all of your web pages. This means that your web pages will all look consistent. If you want to change your look, you change the “style sheet” and Voila! all of your web pages still look consistent but with your new look.
So, yes, if you want to make professional web pages you need to be able to read and hack HTML and CSS.
My favorite book for learning about this is Head First HTML by OReilly and Associates. Highly recommended.

You need to know CSS and use it to make a professional page.
It is possible to use CSS in Dreamweaver.
I can’t answer the whole of your second question in one answer.
Dreamweaver won’t automatically create your CSS for you.
CSS is a way of ensuring that if you have several parts of your page or site which use the same formatting, when you change that formatting, you only have to change it in one place (in your style sheet), instead of 400 or however many times you have used it on the site.
