No, you don't need to go as high in the frequency range, but you do
have to go higher than you might think to capture (say) the third
formant of some speakers and the find structure of sibilants and such.

It depends on the noise, and what you're using the recording for. If
you're doing something like recording auditory evoked responses, you
really want the quiet parts to be very quiet. But, yeah, S/N ratios
overall are probably much better.
