No- the shuttle driver will be notified of your arrival on the lot and pick you up at the exact location that you park your car.
No you don't have to but you can call ahead to make a reservation if you want. For a short stay valet is the way to go. Its an extra 1 dollar a day and well worth it in the fall/winter. If you're planning a long stay(month+), ask about a possible prepaid discount. Great parking and awesome owners.
