I thought that you are already QCharts subscriber.
If not - there is a better and cheaper solution - announced today - a new eSignal Basic package at $69/month
(or $49/month if paid yearly) - this is cheaper than QCharts Basic subscription.
For the details http://www.amibroker.com/esignal.html
Also then you don't need to purchase QCollector at all.
Everything you need is just AmiBroker and subscription mentioned above.
It gives you much better performance and features then the solution
mentioned previously.
As to your questions:

No you don't need metastock at all.

A new MS plugin announced on this mailing list refreshes your charts
automatically every 15 seconds.
The bar-interval is set in QCollector (1-minute minimum)
> 3. Does it work for streaming, tick by tick, too?
NO.
Streaming tick by tick charts are supported ONLY using eSignal feed (see above)

That's true.
