First: is it needed/require/sudgested to sleep between API queries within a program loop ?
Second: is there a way to check how many queries of my daily budget I spent ?

For your first question, you got it. I also recently wrote some mock code to demonstrate an example loop that sleeps when it reaches the bucket limit. You can check it out here.
With regards to your second question, yes, the API stats page is a good insight into what's happening but there isn't really a "daily budget" so to speak. We really only enforce things 10 seconds at a time. As per the links above, you can inspect the bucket you are currently in by looking at the
X-RateLimit-Remaining
header.
