This is a belated answer to the question of needing to see the show to understand/appreciate the movie
No, you definitely don't need to, but it really really helps. Whedon is a very character-driven writer/director so really "getting" Angel, Buffy and Firefly/Serenity is about "getting" the characters and how they fit together. Serenity stands well enough on its own as a good story but lacks the background of the nuances of the relationships between the crew. Definitely see Serenity and enjoy it. Then buy/rent Firefly and make it that much better.
