1. Well, I'm doing a lot of machinimas myself and I never use the model viewers, for one basic reason - I like filming people, not models. It has some drawbacks - perfection is almost impossible, number of moves/emotes limited, camera angles not always what I wish for and there is no way to have decent fighting scenes. But still I find it much more amusing than doing a machinima without other people than myslef involved.
2. I am a basic user of the editing software and I use Sony Vegas pro 9.0. It was difficult at he beginning, but YT tutorials helped and now I wouldn't change it for the world. Although many people recommended Adobe After Effects as better for the effects. I don't use them much, so I stick to Sony.
3. It depends on what kind of machiimas you want to do - best to watch some films on WCM, it'll give you a general overview of what people are doing.
