This answer is really short.
Yes. You need to use Lua. Roblox uses Lua 5.1. You cannot use any other language to code games in Lua.

No. You don't. You can use JavaScript or VBS or Python or any other scripting language you want. Roblox uses Lua, though, so none of those other languages are going to compile if you try to write with them using Roblox.
LUA is main the scripting tool and is the only thing you can use currently in roblox
Roblox uses Java and C++ to produce the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that you code Lua in. It would be futile to make users have to code their own IDE, and then implement it, mostly because of all the security issues that would arise. Also, Javascript and HTML are meant to produce web pages, so using it in place of Lua wouldn't be practical.
You don't use Lua or any of those other languages on ROBLOX. You use ROBLOX Lua.
