A motivated, generally happy team, yes. But just being happy isn't enough so I wouldn't call it a key, but rather one of the recommended ingredients.

Yes. But you also have to make sure that team is motivated along with being happy. Some people also get happiness from not being motivated. You don't want such people on team if you want the team to be effecient. Saving Changes...
It definitely is a plus and an asset. However, it is not solely enough. Saving Changes...

No, happiness isn't key to success. You can beat your team until they succeed. The problem with this, though, is that in a free economy you will only be left with people who are willing to take beatings. The more confident and creative members of the talent pool will go elsewhere. Their teams will always outperform yours. Saving Changes...

Happiness should not be a project team goal - it's too elusive and paradoxically cant be obtained through direct pursuit :)
Focus on motivation, creating satisfying work and engagement to get a project delivered - happiness will emerge as a by-product.
