1. That is a good question and one you will have to do some question asking on your end. Basically what you need to do is a scope analysis of what you need in a system and then go and match those requirements with the plethora of systems that are out there. What makes a good system is one that is scalable and has a good ROI (Return on Investment). The technologies involved also makes a difference on manageability and your ability to upgrade and modify the system. But it is hard to ascertain what system would be best for you without finding out what is YOUR requirements, scope, intended audience, your developers abilities, and of course how much you are willing to invest. Things you have to also consider is what and how you will handle work flow and document management.......
2. Content Management System [ CMS ] is an application which will make it easier for you to manage the site. On your question, there is no "MUST / SHOULD CONTAIN" issue. The cms must adopt with the frontend site. For example, if you are offering a photo gallery, then your CMS must contain a functionality which may add, edit and delete your photo collections :) In short, it depends on the need of the website.
3. Check Joomla, Drupal,Vbulletin
