3. Are there any essential things to know, like what steps should be included when starting a project? Modeling, rendering etc.
Warm greetings for the (at the moment) a bit cold Sweden!
Cheers! =)
1. Absolutely not. Seems like you need to study up on rendering. 
2. Maya Software is a fast render, and can produce realistic renders. If you want to go all out, go with MR, but that takes longer to render with.
3. You need to more specific on a question like this.
