It will run with it not hooked up, if that's what you're asking. But you won't know when anything goes wrong, so why not hook it up?

Yes, you pretty much can, but I would probably not put a halogen headlight in it! But seriously, just get a small 12volt light, and you should be good to go. I wouldn't put an LED in it though, as they will seem to slightly glow all of the time.
