The gun is in a fixed position. So no, it does not need a gun sight. Like @ZeroWithSlashedO said, it would make sense on a helicopter because the gun is on a turret.
no.
well, it depends I guess.
HMDS has this thing right smack in the center of it called "Boresight", and as I've said it shows the centerpoint of the HMD, aka what you are directly looking at.
most aircrafts have this to just show where their pilots are looking and also to guide sensors of the aircraft on where to look, but there is one exception where this boresight is a gunsight, and it is on the AH-64 Apache.
unlike a fighter's gun where it is fixed in place, the M203 of the Apache sits as a turret under the helo, and can be slaved towards the boresight, making it the only gunsight ever in an HMDS (unless I missed another aircraft.)
