Not necessarily. If wanted to be a Database Administrator, maybe. If you know SQL commands then it is similar with SQL Server commands.
>2) What will be the SQL database extension? Is it still .DBF?
SQL Server Database contains tables but are encapsulated into one file.

Yes, because SQL Server is totally a separate package. SQL server normally sits on a powerful server with NT as NOS.

Using SQL Server as your data storage other than VFP means you are exploiting the idea of Client/Server technology.
