No need to take medicines before treatment.  If at all required in certain cases the doctor prescribe you the same. So if it's not given by your concerned doctor don't take them.

No. Antibiotics are not warranted in root canal treatment any longer unless you are immuno compromised for any reason or have uncontrolled diabetes.
