Yes.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments...And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
The Senate would be judging, so they would have to convict the president of it for there to be a punishment, as that’s how a court works. The judgment is what determines if they would be impeached, according to the above quote.

Yes. Disqualification from holding office is a possible consequence of conviction. Without conviction, there can be no disqualification.

The impeachment process is exactly like a jury trial. Impeachment by the House is equivalent to a person being indicted for a crime. The trial by the Senate is equivalent to a jury trial: if the impeached person is not convicted, then they are not guilty, and there's no penalty - well, other than having had to spend large amounts of money on lawyers &c :-(

Being impeached is the equivalent of an indictment, not a conviction. Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson were formally accused of wrongdoing, but never actually convicted of anything. The direct text from the Constitution itself:
The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
The act of impeachment is distinct from a conviction. There are no official consequences unless the President is convicted.
