1) Yes, you have to see the captain to check in when jumpseating even with a seat in the cabin. Try not doing it, and you'll get thrown off most airlines.
2) If you are deadheading or non-reving you do NOT need to check in, but if for some reason you deadhead on a non-affiliated airline it's probably good to stop in and say hi just so they don't get the wrong idea and think you are a "stealth jumpseater" ala gojets.
