Answer 1

Yes, in order to read properly accentuation is a must.

Answer 2

Oui, dans la langue française il faut garder les accents en majuscule.

It is 100% incorrect to leave the accent mark off of a capitalized letter. Similar instances occur in the Italian language, and are accepted in cases such as online blogs or informal SMS or email - but this is not correct.
