Sometimes.

Certain events can cause the CPU to run up and cause the server to go non-responsive.

Certain updates (such as server code changes, archetype change) require a restart so those updates appear in the game.

See above for if/when those issues are encountered. Otherwise, it does not need a restart on any sort of schedule or regular basis.

Depends on how the server was setup or installed.

If it was through some sort of package manager (i.e., yum or apt) or compiled by source code.

This wiki page has some details on that, http://wiki.metalforge.net/doku.php/linux
