No, a screen protector is highly recommended. I use the Boxwave Anti-glare.

nope. if it's not glass, it's not resistant to scratches. i use capdase smudge proof matte finish. fingerprints are minimal though it reduces clarity on the screen.

If you want your screen to remain scratch free, then buy a screen guard.

At least the plastic doesn't shatter like glass on iphone. Also, if you rub plastic a little, it's sometimes possible to make the scratch less visible.

I highly recommend the OtterBox case for the n900. For about $30 US you get a very good case that fits exceptionally well, provides silicone covers for the plugs, and provides a screen protector. I bought one for my n900, and I'm very satisfied so far. The only "problem" is that it is a little difficult to remove the case if you need to change your battery or sim card.
