1.) Don't have to play any other Zelda game to (almost) fully enjoy Zelda U. The only thing you'd be missing out on is references to other games. The story and characters should be stand alone from the rest of the series, as pretty much always. In case you don't know, it's always a new Link and Zelda every time. (With the exception of actual sequels, like Majora's Mask.)
But to get an appreciation of the Zelda world, I'd say Ocaina of Time and A Link to the Past are the main staple games that best represent the series, and it'll give you a broader appreciation of the Zelda world and history.

4.) Yeah they're adventure games, similar to rpgs, so expect that kind of game time.

Always a NEW Link and Zelda? New as in different? Could u elaborate on this?

Link and Zelda in almost all the games are a different person. At a different point in history. Think of the whole same guy/gal plays their son/daughter joke on shows. None of them normally connect. And are self contained to that universe. The Link's and Zelda's all have different personalities and looks. And some are older or younger. The only consistent thing in the games is the general time of the series. And the items you get. So there normally won't be anything futuristic.

Their families are also different. Sometimes Link is brought up as a normal child. Sometimes adopted by other races. Zelda is usually a princess. But will either know, not follow rules, or won't know her history. Till it's important. The maps are also different in each game. While the games have a lot of the "same" locations. The places will normally look different each time. IE: The Temple Of TIme.
