Hrm.  I think it depends how separate the module is.  You might get away
with it (though obviously you haven't :))

I'd say the easiest thing is to, yes.

You might be able to get away with compiling just that module up using
some magic or other but I've never really investigated it fully always
just building a single module up in an already built tree (i.e. compile
a full kernel, install it, realise I need something else at a later date
and compile up that module).

You should find the config for your current kernel in /boot if you've
only used stock kernels before.

You should probably read the Kernel HOWTO
