No, but you'll be adding homemade garden compost over the years, which will put back the nutrients the plants take out

Best to dig the soil in/under the raised beds, so the roots can go down deep, before you build the beds up.

No need, as long a it is decent top soil. I planted straight into top soil at my allotment with nothing added when I first built mine with no problem.

I put horse manure in my garden beds but this was to help fill them. Bought 4 tons of topsoil for them but wasn't enough so used some free horse manure to bulk it out.
