    1. Not necessary
    2. Yes
    3. If you're using FeedBurner, it offers a 301 redirect to RSS readers so there is no need to change feed url at the most however after after 30 days you should create new feed for your blog because that changed feed will start showing 404 after 30 days.

    Inform your customers/readers about the changes.

    You need to make some changes both in Blogger and your domain registrar. I've done it 2-3 months ago. You can setup Blogger to redirect yourname.blogspot.com to www.yourname.com using the settings/publishing tab. This is a 301 redirect, so the Search engines will think that all the links are pointing to your new domain.
