To create programs with Visual C#, do I need to install the Windows 7 SDK?

No, but it does contain useful tools like FxCop, which I find quite useful just for catching silly mistakes that don't break your program, but maybe slow it down or make it more difficult to maintain.

No, you only need the SDK if you want the reference dlls without installing VS 2010. For example, you might want to install it on a build server.
Well, or if you want anything from the SDK specifically, like the code samples.
