This is the reply I got from US embassy in Nepal when I asked them the same question -

"In order to apply for a visa, you must complete the DS-160 online at the following webpage listed below. Once you come to Nepal, go to Nabil Bank with your filled application form, prepay and get your interview scheduled.  If you are constraint by the time and wish to obtain an appointment during your short stay, you may send a copy of your application form to a family member or friend who may pay on your behalf at the Bank and obtain an earlier appointment for you. The current waiting time to obtain an appointment is two business days."

So the answer to first question would be - YES

For 2, you might get bugged at the airport and need to bribe officials if you don't have labor stamping. I wouldn'r risk being denied at the airport for some stamping.

Good Luck.
