Granted, you've already installed, but I'm going to answer the questions
for the record.

rcd is the Red Carpet Daemon.  It's a backend to which various clients
can connect.  rug is a command-line client, convenient for scripting.

No, but it does require rcd.  rug is optional.

1) XD2 cannot be removed later without great difficulty.  The
go.ximian.com option does allow an Evolution-only install which is
easier to undo, however.  Neither requires any separate downloading
beyond what is done automatically by the installer, though having
various Red Hat Linux 8.0 updates (notably to glibc) installed already
will make the install faster.
