From canon law:
Can. 892 Insofar as possible, there is to be a sponsor for the person to be confirmed; the sponsor is to take care that the confirmed person behaves as a true witness of Christ and faithfully fulfills the obligations inherent in this sacrament.
Can. 893 §1. To perform the function of sponsor, a person must fulfill the conditions mentioned in ⇒ can. 874.
§2. It is desirable to choose as sponsor the one who undertook the same function in baptism.

Except for cases where the sacrament is performed as an emergency, yes. That said, it is a canon law requirement - a confirmation preformed with no sponsor may be illicit, but it will be valid.

Yes, but I believe a priest/RCIA director will help you find one if you are entering the Church and don’t know any Catholics to ask.
