You do not need a passport to visit Ireland. The Irish will (indeed have to) let you in without one.
However travel companies often insist on photo ID for security reasons and a passport is the easiest but not the only way of providing this.
Airlines virtually always insist - by ferry it's not often required but best to have it in case.
Best exchange rate is often a debit card in an ATM at your destination - don't know how easy it would be for you to use one though. It's usually sufficiently better to outweigh the fees your bank may charge for euro withdrawals.

Post Office is the easiest place to exchange your pounds for Euros. Exchange rates elsewhere will not be much better if at all and it's so straight forward at the P.O.
You don't need a passport.
This probably won't apply to you, but just in case you do have a Nationwide Flex account, I think they still let you withdraw money from cash machines in Ireland and don't charge you for doing so; very handy if you're uncomfortable with carrying all of your cash around with you every day.

if you're using atms here in ireland, they all usually take al major credit cards, as well as any card with a cirrus symbol on the back.
Exchange rate is rubbish now - sterling has lost a huge amount of value on the international markets - and the cost of living here is high enough. Allow what you'd spens on a good 5 days out in the UK and you should be ok, add 20% for comfort.
As stated, most airlines require passports but a photo drivers licence is accepted by some.
