I think, your answer was more like "do I need to install 64-bit Cygwin to
compile 64-bit version of my package".
To the best of my knowledge, you should be fine with appropriate
cross-compiler. No need for separate 64-bit install, if you see no other use
for it.
But it may be woth a while to install it for testing purposes.

Now, this is a nonsense :)
Native applications will always work faster, if only by a little.
Also, what Corinna said on compatibility between different Cygwin
architectures.
