Also, before I add a new device, do I have to partition the drive or does btrfs take over all these duties (partitioning, formating) when it adds the device to the filesystem?
Partitioning is optional. Drives I dedicate for one task only, I do not partition. If I use them for other things, or might use them for other things, then I partition them.
My personal habit is otherwise: I always partition. This means all my drives are partitioned, causing less confusion.
