Yes.

Some of both. Tournaments will specify in their description if they are needed as an entry fee, and also if they are given to the winner.
Not all tournament need/give stars. All four combinations are possible:
- Tourneys that cost stars to enter but don't give any.
- Tourneys that pay out stars for winning but don't cost anything to enter.
- Tourneys that do both.
- Tourneys that do neither.
Read the description of each tournament. It's always specified if it has an entry fee, and what the reward is for winning.
