Default [Q][WT19a] Root and other things

Hi to all! Now i'm part of this community, i bought a LWW last monday.

I have 2.3.4, the 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware.

-It's necessary to update to the latest firmware?
-It's necessary to have Unlocked Bootloader to root? (with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1321582 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1346198)
-Can CWM Recovery be installed in all versions of the WT19a firmware?

hope you can help me

You can root with locked bootloader also.

You can stay on .58 update, but newer update offers some bug fixes and battery and performance improvements.

Yes, CWM should be available for WT19a also, all Xperias should have the possibility for CWM.

I don't think you can root a phone after updating from Sony. I'm not sure, really.
