Knitting is basically two stitches, knit and purl. There are some patterns that are all garter stitch (all knits), but the majority use a combination of both so yes, I'd say you should learn to purl.
**Please provide a pattern link and/or name if possible and as much information as you can when asking questions so we can help you better and more quickly.
Yes, unless you plan on doing nothing but garter stitch for the rest of your knitting days.
