Kamala,
No, you don't need an attic fan. Nor do you need any ventilation openings. More information here: Fans in the Attic: Do They Help or Do They Hurt?

Kamala,
If you want to convert your attic to a conditioned space, and you plan to insulate the sloped roof assembly, then you should follow the requirements for any insulated sloped roof. More information here: How to Build an Insulated Cathedral Ceiling.
