Yes. A building permit is required, and electrical, plumbing and mechanical work each need their own permits from licensed trades.
Only if it meets code for escape, usually a properly sized egress window or door. Ask your contractor to include it in the design.
Fix the water first. Finishing over seepage leads to mold and ruined drywall.
