Yep; that will do it.

% Sure. This depends on which shell you're using, but each shell has a
% startup file that is run every time you log in. For bash, it's .profile
% (or .bashrc, both are used and both work) in your home dir. For tcsh
% and the like, it's .cshrc. Putting the above command (with the &) in
% that file will run it every time you log in.
For the csh/tcsh world as well as for ksh and Bourne, to run stuff only
at login you want .login or .profile, respectively. I suspect that
.bashrc is a per-shell file analagous to .[t]cshrc and .kshrc (which
must, for ksh, be defined in .profile or it won't be sourced).

Exactly. If the server would happily start multiple times, then perhaps
you need a locking script around it to check for a "running or not" PID.
