> If uncategorized is turned off, will users get some default category, or will they be required to select a category for new topics?

They will be required to choose one, if creating the topic from Latest or a non-category related page.

If they are on a category/latest page, that category will default (unless you use the keyboard shortcut for creating a category – which may be a bug, very low priority one though and hasn’t been reported to my knowledge).
