1. Yes
2. No need to appoint a guardian during the lifetime of the parents of a child. The father is natural guardian anyway.
Rest is not required either.

AS per the Supreme Court's Judgement in Gita Hariharan Vs Reserve Bank of India, mother also is the natural guardian even during the lifetime of the father. Thus both the mother and the father are natural guradians under Hindu Law.
