For build, it looks so. Build your driver and then check the build.dat file
in the DDK root... all dependencies are there.

VC.2003 seems to save dependencies in .ncb files.

No, because win32 VC wizard does not define unicode as a default.

Come on, ascii characters always work, stop that nonsense.
Also, I am not bothered about non English characters, if this is the
case, then yes, you need unicode, but why are you thinking in these
arkward ways? And don't forget C and ASCII go together from day
1.

Why base your strategy on defaults chosen for beginners to avoid them from
getting lost in lots of notions?

For Japanese? No ASCII for Japanese, only the ugly DBCS.

Oh, yes, then sorry, you really do not need Unicode.
