Do you have to unwrap high poly mesh for UV baking?
It’s not actually required that you unwrap the high poly mesh for this operation to work, only that the two meshes be in the same location when you do the baking. Development of aberrations around corners is a common problem with normal maps.

Which is better a low poly or high poly mesh?
$\\begingroup$ The cage has to be larger than the high poly object. The low poly and high poly can be the same size. The cage itself acts as a boundary for the ray casting. Cages are most useful when trying to make a map for an object with sharp corners since it will help create a smooth transition around the edges.
