Very very useful. All large sites should have them, and most smaller ones.

Must show all pages (of course), their relative hierarchies and main
interactions. It should be obvious which page is the home page and which
pages are the important pages and which the less important.
Each page must be a link to that page.

Just having a list of all the pages on the site.

There is no one way - you could use a breadcrumb trail type menu,
perhaps expandable (like in windows explorer). My preference is to have
an image map which graphical lays out the hierarchy sort of like a
pyramid. However, this gets difficult to lay out when you have lots of
pages and/or sections.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
