Does this microphone need phantom power?

Yes. Condenser microphones need 48V phantom power to work, supplied from the desk, a preamp or an active DI. If the channel has phantom switched off you will get almost no signal. More on phantom power.

What pickup pattern is this, and when does it matter?

Cardioid. Front pickup with rejection at the rear, the usual pattern for live vocals and close instrument miking where spill from the rest of the stage needs controlling. How to stop feedback.
