Only when using Windows Scheduled Tasks instead of SQL Agent for collector invocation. Windows Administrator permission will be require in order to create and schedule tasks to run in the background.

SQL Server permissions required for data collection

Not defined. It is expected that collection will run under local SQL Agent account which will have sa rights. However, this is not a requirement I just have not got minimum requirements defined for the collectors yet.
