Your Answer for Question 1:
You definitely don't need them all. If statements are pretty vital. The rest of them could be dropped, but programs would be definitely a lot more convoluted and hard to understand. Gotos are never really used anyway, along with do while. 

Your Answer for Question 2:
There are two in MIPS, beq and bne - branch if equal, and branch if not equal. MIPS designers definitely wanted to keep things as simple as possible to maximize performance. Goto I guess is also involved in the making of decisions.

Your Answer for Question 3:
It's pretty interesting how much you can do with just ifs and goto. It also is remarkable how much harder MIPS is to comprehend than C is. Those whiles and variable names really help clear things up.
