Throughout the 20 pages of discussion here, the only way I've heard that people can consistently and repeatedly earn credits is by buying them, or getting them from someone else who has bought them. If there is another way (other than actually working for the mud) I've yet to hear about it.
Not if you want to play competitively. We've already established that without credits, a character is going to be severely weaker than characters who have had credits spent on them - hardly irrelevent for a mud which promotes itself as focusing on PvP.
Assuming that someone who connects to a mud labelling itself as "free" considers that, yes. It's for this reason that I'd rather see the "pay-per-play" option removed entirely if no "pay-for-perks" option is going to be added - at least then the player knows it's up to them to look the information up, rather than assuming it's free based on the entry (and yes, there have been players who have done this).
