If is fuel injected it will retain significant pressure when it is not running. Be wary of petrol spray in the peepers. You must use the correct type of filter.

As above - best practise is to disable the pump and let the car run till it stops so to relieve pressure in the system . but as long as you are aware and it isn't near any hot sources (exhaust etc) most generally just crack them off and let the pressure run out . Petrol is handy for cleaning the work floor underneath as well!
Just leave the key in the on position for 5-10 seconds before cranking, the pump should build pressure up enough for it to start no problem after that. Otherwise you could be cranking for a while to get it started which is just extra wear on the starter etc.
Oh and as above said, make sure you get the right filter!
