To be able to debug *in the target circuit*, yes.

But there are many other ways to "debug" all the way from
proof-reading the code through add some debug-code (blink a
LED or something) to full-blown in-circuit-debuging.

It's impossible to tell what *you* need.

Impossible to tell. I guess there are many out there without
a PIC16F648A-ICD but still writing real code for the PIC16F628A.

- Proof-read.
- Use MPSIM.
- Work with isolated parts of teh code at a time.
- Write test-cases for parts of the code you're not sure about.
- Test it by actualy programming it and see what happens.
