Your Answer for Question 1:
No, it does not need them all. All that is actually needed is an if statement; everything else is there to make programming easier and more natural, rather than using recursive calls and extremeley long if-else statements everywhere.

Your Answer for Question 2:
C has:
if-else
for
while
do-while
switch
? operator

MIPS has:
bne
beq
slt

The lack of more elaborate decision makers is to make the interface simpler for the hardware to run. Since every other decision maker can be composed of these basic elements, there is no need to make the system any more complicated than this.

Your Answer for Question 3:
Nothing was difficult about the reading...translating our favorite looping routines into MIPS probably will just take getting used to. I found it interesting how we now break down all the routines we took for granted into their most basic elements.
