The cover letter is not necessary, but it's not a bad way to organize your documents.

Please read the instructions on the USCIS website if you're unsure of the fee. There may be other information you've missed.

I thought the fee was $340, but I wanted to make sure...

is the supplement to question 18 encouraged? or is it if I wanted to add more than the space available?

If you don't have enough room in that little box for your answer, then add a supplement page. Don't make it a novel, just answer how you met.
