Answer 1

WPF, in general, doesn't really require a framework. Choosing an appropriate framework really should happen after understanding the basics.

There are quite a few good, lightweight "frameworks" that help fill in the gaps, such as MVVM Light and Caliburn Micro.

However, if you're new to WPF, I'd start at the fundimentals, first. I wrote a series of articles on moving to WPF from Windows Forms which explains how to think about WPF, and why you should try to think differently than you do in Windows Forms. Often, when people first start using WPF, they make assumptions (like the requirement for a "framework") based on their Windows Forms experience, and waste a lot of time that could be better spent just building the application directly.
