You don't need to provide a submission but I would advise you to at least consider doing so.
Tribunals are not like a Court case where the prosecution present their case and then the defence do, although you will be given a chance to raise any issue you wish, the hearing is much more about the panel questioning the claimant bout their problems.
So a submission gives you a further opportunity to present your case for the hearing.
Another good reason to consider a submission is because it also allows you to consolidate your case inti a few pages that can be easily read by the panel. The bundle that they will receive could easily be a hundred pages long. with your information spread all through it.
Think about why you should score the points required for an award and put these down on paper as a starting point.
There is a sample submission in the MR & Appeal Submissions document in the PIP area.

Yes, as long as all of your papers are with the Tribunal Service no later than one week before the hearing it is not a problem.

You should not be talking to the DWP about your appeal, they are party to the hearing and therefore not impartial.
Did you send a document with your appeal request?
As I said in a previous post you do not have to provide a submission, but it is an opportunity to clarify your arguments.
