Unlikley but its pretty basic... you would question the CV as you would have covered them in middle and/or high school...

Hi, it can rarely help during market sizing. I would say mainly the formula for squares, but I'm sure you already know it :)

No.
You only need the ones in this document.
I'd be super surprised if you get anything else that is not included here.

Hi there,
No you do not - don't worry, geometry/trigonometry isn't required here! Save your PieRSquared for the GRE/GMAT :)
