Yes you do, see the Highway code

Yes it would be illegal to have your car facing the wrong way although I have never heard of it being enforced in all my years of driving.

See rule 248;

When parked on any road at night the vehicle must be parked with the flow of traffic, i.e. reflectors showing to rear approaching traffic; also-
if the road is subject to a speed limit over 30 mph you must show lights at night too.

Yes you must park the correct way. Also, if the speed limit is more than 30mph then you must have your sidelights left on at night too.

You sure have to.

Yes you do, and your supposed to have dipped headlights on as well.
