Answer 2

It doesn't hurt to show the form, but unless you need your cousin's sponsorship to provide for you financially in order to cover your schooling and living expenses, then his sponsorship is not necessary.  

Do not be nervous - if you are a serious student with an I-20 and evidence of financial means to cover your stay in the US without working, and strong ties to your home country, then your interview should go well.
