Use the compiler in output/host/usr/bin/<arch>-gcc.

No, it can run directly on the framebuffer.

For a simple full screen application, just run your Qt application with
-qws as others mentioned.

If you want to build your Qt application with qmake, then use the qmake
installed in output/host/usr/bin/qmake.

I should probably put together a step-by-step tutorial on how to use
Buildroot to write Qt apps, as this sounds like a popular request.
