Yes, though “killing people that powerful tribe members call enemies” doesn’t seem to require any superstitions. I’m unsure about how belief in reward/punishment afterlives (that map onto social beliefs about morality) actually alters behavior. Presumably it makes people more fervent but I’m not so sure (witness Marxism).
I don’t think you need to be superstitious to commit the fallacy of choosing a belief that is less accurate intentionally. All you need to do is buy into the meme that all belief is good. I know plenty of atheists-by-default who still think that there’s nothing odd about intentionally choosing to believe something arbitrary.

Of course not. In the same way not killing people doesn’t require any superstitions.
Yes.
