Is it the zetec equivelant of the crank sensor? Or is there one of those as well?

You only need a cam sensor for sequential injection, or Coil On Plug ignition, so the vast majority of megasquirt installations will never need one.

No you don't. Whilst megasquirt has two injector outputs that can be fired independantly, it's still a variation on batch firing, i.e.
they are not synchronised to a particular cylinders firing stroke.

However,
If megasquirt can be tailored to make use oif the signal then sequential ignition should provide a useful gain in fuel economy.
I am not sure if MS can handle it though!!
It's a bitch when they go wrong though, as they tend to on some French models.
