Do I need to use the afi clock when I use the SDRAM memory controller?

I'm not 100% sure about this one, but as the AFI (Altera PHY Interface) is provided to make it easier to interface with external memory, I would say that yes, you do need to use it. I'm assuming that by bundling it all up Altera relieves you of having to define all the tricky timing settings.

How do I use the afi clock on the Input of a PLL block to all clocks be synchronous ?

I have found PLLs and clock control modules to be a real headache, as often you are only allowed to connect certain inputs with certain outputs. By the looks of it afi_half_clk is inverted - is it possible to export the non-inverted one?

Can I use Avalon Memory clock corssing bridge with no synchronized clocks ?

The clocks of clock crossing bridges do not need to be synchronised.
