My tyre (Nobby Nic) says UST on the sidewall and my rim has a UST label on it (Shimano XT). Do I still need to use Stan's fluid?

no but it helps, when you get an "in out" sort of puncture.

No, but its will give you additional puncture protection and help the tyre seal so stick some in anyway

You don't 'need' to, but you might as well put a bit in for punctures. They will probably leak air (very gradually) also.

Definitely fluid in it unless you like pushing.......they're not self sealing just because they're UST 😆
