Will you need it?
If you're processing large files in Photoshop or Final Cut then yeh, but for 'normal' use I doubt you'll need it.
I'm not sure how you find out how much RAM is currently being used in OS X.

I put the Crucial 8GB memory in my i5 and can't say I've noticed a difference really. It'll be your HDD that's the bottleneck (mine grinds sometimes and it's definitely the HDD, need either a fast platter drive or SSD)

Depends on what you are doing.
If you are using photoshop and other intensive applications, or virtualising windows on parallels/vmware then yes, of course, if you ware just using your mac for the internet / general documents and itunes, then no.
To make the MBP feel snappier and quicker at loading applications, get an SSD drive.
I would get both.

Not having the same crap memory management as windows means adding RAM has less of an effect for general stuff, as Gabi says, an SSD will make a much MUCH bigger difference.
