No, you can start FSD from stopped using a button on the screen. It drives to the destination and parks itself.

It's been a year or two since I drove a Tesla, but in FSD mode it insisted I at least touch the steering wheel regularly.

Modern refreshed models use an eye tracking camera.

The steering wheel sensor could be defeated by taping a water bottle to the wheel. The eye tracking is supposed to be harder to defeat, although I wonder if it would accept a mannequin in the driver seat.

No. A camera watches you to make sure you’re paying attention.
