Do I need a SimplePDF account to use this plugin?

No: the plugin does not require an account to work: all features are available without any account.

What are the differences between using the plugin without and with a SimplePDF account?

Without an account, the plugin will open the PDF editor allowing your visitors to fill in documents and download them.
