Answering your second question first - No. If you create an entire party, none of the characters will interact with other. That happens only for "scripted" npcs.

To build an entire party, simply start a new game in mplayer mode and then create each of the characters individually and assign them to your control. You could also start six individual single player games and export each character and then reimport them in a single game.

Some people don't like the choices of npcs offered and thus prefer to build their own parties. They miss out on the potential romances and character interactions but they get a party that is more to their liking.

An alternative is to use a mix of your own characters and the available npcs. That allows you to infill potential gaps in classes offered by the npcs or to try out new kits and classes.
