I need to mark some elements as non required in the XSD schema. How do I go about figuring out which elements are marked as required, is there any particular flag I should be searching for. Currently all of my elements are marked with minOccurs="0", is this what needs to be changed?

The "use" property in the XSD definition is used to specify if the attribute is optional or mandatory. To specify that an attribute must be present, use="required" (Note: use may also be set to "prohibited", but we'll come to that later).
Simply go to the XML Tools > Validate Now option and click on it. You can also press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + M key combination to open Validate Now option. Now, select the XSD file against which you want to validate the opened XML document. Simply browse and then import the XSD file in the respective field.
Attributes are by default optional. But to make an attribute mandatory, "use" attribute can be used.
Its purpose is to validate the structure of another XML document. The XSD is not mandatory for any XML, but it assures that the XML could be used for some particular purposes. The XML is only containing data in suitable format and structure.
Yes.
minOccurs="0" is what you need to add to an element as optional.
Having no minOccurs attribute implies mandatory (since by default minOccurs="1")
