Since you have background in Indian classical music, you should take to musicianship and ear training pretty well. Indian solfege is very similar to western solfege: “Sa re ga ma pa dha ni sa” is analogous to “Do re mi fa sol la ti do,” for the most part: how you can modify each note is much the same.
Where you might find trouble is getting used to harmony and the theory behind harmonic progressions, as Indian music (as far as I know) doesn’t generally deal with harmony. But you should definitely study theory, as it not only helps you play but helps you understand the music, not just repeat it.
Also since Indian classical is largely based on improvisation you would probably enjoy learning some jazz.
bravo 4 wanting to learn piano. you should listen to as much classical piano and symphony music as possible, especially Beethoven, Brahms,and Haydn. listen to 90.9FM on the radio as well as buy or borrow classical concerto to listen to.

2If you are interested in studio recording then yes, otherwise no.
Music theory would be a good supplement to your piano studies.
