No. It's an optional service available to Verizon subscribers. You are free to use it or not as you see fit.

Yes, you can access your Verizon services from the MSN 8 navigation bar.
After you install Verizon Online DSL with MSN 8, a Verizon Central icon appears on the MSN 8 navigation bar. Click this icon to go to the Verizon Central home page. To navigate directly to a specific Verizon Online service, select the Verizon Central down arrow from the navigation bar and click one of the usual Verizon Central categories:
• E-mail and More
• Help and Support
• My Account
• My Web Space
• Music Games and Video
• Latest Internet Products
• Resource Center
• More From Verizon.

Unfortunately yes, since Verizon Online and MSN 8 are different services.
VOL NetMail and MSN or Hotmail e-mail accounts (primary and sub-accounts) will have separate logins and passwords.

Enough for having two addresses for every day of the week!
• Verizon Online NetMail: One NetMail primary email account and eight Verizon Online sub-accounts one of which is an alias.
• MSN or Hotmail: One MSN or Hotmail primary e-mail account and eight MSN or Hotmail sub-accounts.
The primary account is the e-mail account of the user who set up the e-mail service or subscriber. This account cannot be deleted but can have it's login and password changed. In addition, the primary user establishes your sub-accounts and configures their privilages to use Usenet. The sub-accounts, however, do not have to be used and can be deleted. One of the sub accounts is an alias account.
Since Verizon Online and MSN 8 are different services, your NetMail and MSN or Hotmail e-mail accounts (primary and sub-accounts) will have separate logins and passwords.
