In general, yes, it should be mixed.  Straight anti-freeze does not cool as
well, and actually has a higher freezing point than a 50/50 mix.  However it
does have a higher boiling point than either pure water or a 50/50 mix.

There used to be some cheap 'coolants' that were already mixed, but I
haven't seen them for many years.

I've no idea.  50/50 with oil and a little spice works well on salads ...
