    yes and no
    no, not with the tab tool, on a 3D object you do not put any cut lines on the drawing.
    yes, just make them as part of your object.

    btw if you want better 3D results you should try PyCam. You will need to install the Sketchup STL output plugin, then import the STL file into PyCAM. watch the tutorial video for best results.
