According to both the Chicago Manual of Style and the American Anthropological Association's protocol, in scholarly essays movie titles should be italicized.

Underlining was used when typewriters were the height of technology. It was then identified by the printer, who would be publishing the work that the words needed to be italicized. If you are hand writing, you obviously underline

No. Only titles of full-length movies and books are italicized. Names are not italicized (unless they are part of the movies' title, for example, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button).

Yes, movie titles should be italicized in a novel to distinguish them from the rest of the text. This helps to indicate to the reader that the title is a distinct entity within the narrative.

Most novelists do not, therefore you could argue you should not either. However, I believe under the technical rules, the answer is yes.
