The part nobody plans for is the walking — every cup, every course and every netilas yadayim is another trip between the kitchen and the sukkah. A portable sink and a rolling cart cut those trips down more than anything else you can buy for a week of eating outdoors.

No, and that is the point. The freestanding and foot-pump models on this page hold their own water in a tank and drain into a second tank or a bucket underneath — you fill and empty them by hand. One model connects to a garden hose if you have a tap within reach, which saves the refilling.
Just outside the sukkah entrance or immediately inside it, wherever the queue will not block the door. Standing it on a hard surface or on flooring matters — the ground under a hand-wash station turns to mud fast, especially with children using it.
Tanks on this page run to about 20 gallons, which comfortably covers a meal for a family with guests. For a large crowd, plan to refill between courses, and keep a filled jug in the sukkah so nobody has to go inside mid-meal.
If your kitchen is more than a few steps from the sukkah, yes. A rolling cart moves an entire course in one trip instead of four, and the shelves double as somewhere to put serving dishes down — which in a full sukkah is the scarcest thing there is. It also folds away and gets used for Pesach and every other Yom Tov.
