Just run an ethernet cable if you can. It will be best. You will need some type of wired router.

If you can, always go wired. As good as wireless is, right now wired is faster then wireless A/G and lets chance of interferance.

Yep, get yourself a router. Cross over cable can work but you need to get IP addresses and since you are asking, make it easy on yourself and get a router.
