Re: How to report RRSP on 1040 in 2020?

1) No

2) Yes

3) I do, You may not need to.

4) You need to keep track of your contributions, which are post-tax for the US. When you withdraw the $ you will allocate a portion of the withdrawn amount as a return of contribution (tax free) and a portion as taxable.
