Yes appendicitis requires surgery. Retrocaecal appendix means appendix located behind caecum. This can make retrieval of appendix a bit difficult.

Yes. It needs surgery. It just means appendicitis with appendix behind the colon. That makes it resection a little difficult relatively. Nothing much significant. Except surgery is needed.
