Only if you intend to have more than 1 version of Emacs installed, or eventually
upgrade to a newer version.  The site-lisp directory will be used by all
versions, but the 21.1/site-lisp directory will only be used by your current
version (so if you upgrade, you'll have to move all those files).

I recommend using the site-lisp directory for almost everything.  The only
things I put in the M.m/site-lisp directory are version-specific bug fixes.

That depends on what platform are you using and how Emacs was configured when it
was built.

On Solaris, this will tell you whether that will work:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local ldd /usr/local/bin/emacs
