Out of curiosity, will the MacBook be able to play sound through the television from the get go or would it need a few settings tinkered with?

HDMI carries sound, so assuming apple haven't snuck in some sort of propitiatory HDMI port, sound should work just fine.

Unless a display adaptor is used then yes (I think MDP carries audio anyway).

HDMI on Macs does carry sound, use it on a MacMini.

Only if you are not on default settings. Default still makes with or without HDMI connection play sound through internal speakers.
