A: No, you only need the Zenith Sword to be equipped in order for Atma to drop. However it should be noted that you will not be able to fully complete the quest unless you also have your Zenith Shield. So if you skipped out on upgrading the Shield earlier due to a better upgrade, now would be the time to upgrade it.
Has this actually been confirmed? Would like to know since I do have a zenith sword but not a zenith shield.
