SRV44,
It is not required to pay SEVIS fee while renewing you F1 Visa. ( In fact it is not necessary to pay SEVIS fee twice. It is always suggested to contact ICE if you are not sure about it).
That being said it worth knowing your SEVIS status before going to an interview. I am not sure if we can check our SEVIS status ourselves if not your School's international office's DSO definitely can check.
If you have always maintained your student status, the chances that your SEVIS status is in jeopardy is very less (close to 0%). But sometimes because of human error student's SEVIS is terminated. But it does not hurt communicating with DSO or finding your SEVIS status yourself.
For documents your DS-160 confirmation will have lists that you need. Hope it helps.
P.S - It is not a legal advice, just my opinion and my experience
Wish you good luck.
