I am using LSTM as the hidden layer function in a time series prediction network. Is input normalization necessary? If it is, is data = data / sum(data) the correct normalization? Should the output also be normalized with the inputs?

No, but it might make your network converge faster. Use this calculation to scale your values to [0,1]:
.

No, I can't think of a reason why you would ever want to do that.
