Yes, pretty much. The TCP/IP layers model was designed by the
Department of Defense and is the model that the used when constructing
the internet and it's protocols. So when you say that to make a
network you need software/hardware that implement the protocols from
that model you are correct.

In #2 it sounds like you are talking about the TCP/IP protocol stack.
Those protocols installed with your OS enable your computer to be able
to do networking. If that is what you mean, and that's what it sounds
like you're saying, then you are correct again.
