<!DOCTYPE html> is the correct syntax

1. Yes. It's the proper way of telling web browsers that it should expect HTML5 and to read the file/document accordingly. 2. Follow Jan's syntax to write it properly. For a long explanation: https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#the-doctype but basically it's just how the web browser parses the code (character by character).
