I guess youre trying to say if you must use an existing 3d engine??
The answer is no, but then youd end up making your own.
A 3d engine is basically a bunch of classes and functions that will help you in the process of creating a 3d game
No. You can write your own engine. It sounds boring but it''s quite "fun" and very satisfying.
I'd read a little in those articles.
They show what the engine does as well as what the application does.

Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
Article 4
Article 5

Especially this image should help:
From Article 2

Sure you can. But using an engine will save you time. On the other hand, if you do it for fun, writing your own engine may be extremely educative!
