i think that is only used to protect ink from getting on the rest of the invitation... i dont think its necessary

I put it in mine. I put it in between the invite and the rsvp. My sheets of tissue paper were tiny.

no you dont need it at all. They were used MANY MANY years ago bc the ink used to run so to proect the invite. With printers now you dont have to deal with this. Some companies still use the tissue just bc its how it used to be done so sort of to keep with tradition i guess but its not needed now

i don't think it's needed per say it does add a nice touch but it also depends on what kind of invites you are using and how heavy the ink is as well as if they invites and inserts will be rubbing together durring mailing.

It's to prevent the ink from smudging. I did pocketfolds and the paper came with them but I didn't use them. None of the invites smudged.
