I have been asked for a flight booking confirmation in the past so I think it really comes down to the embassy your application goes through. If you have no reason to suspect you'd be rejected, I'd book the flights first.

Depends if they ask for proof of flights.

For my visa I just googled flights and dates and entered them.
