Three foot overhang, the ground slopes away from the house and it sits on a slab.

When it rains or snows do you have any drainage issues? You do not have to install gutters, but it helps to divert water away from the foundation.
Yes!
You don't have to have gutters, but they usually help direct rainwater during heavy rains. Watch where the water goes during a heavy rainstorm to see if it is a problem. If not, then you are probably okay without them.
you don't HAVE to have gutters but I would not want to step out of my house in a downpour and have water like a waterfall off the edge of my house.
Gutters, or eaves, are u-shaped channels attached to the edge of the over-hang of a house.
