From what I've been told, the simplest way to do it with nigiri sushi, is to lay it on the side, and put 1 chopstick on the topping, and 1 on the bottom.
As for the bites: it really depends on the size of the sushi. In Japan, they're easy to take in 1 bite.
Some futomaki pieces here, require me to carefully position myself at just the right angle to even fit 1 in my mouth in one bite.
as for the topic:
No, I don't need to eat with chopsticks, but for sticky rice I do really prefer it.

You know, come to think if it, I'm speaking from dining at the sushi bar experience. It may be different at a table (but then again I always sit at the bar so I don't know how the table works). The sushi chef places the sushi on each diner's plate by hand. There really is no reason for you to serve someone but yeah, if you do, best do it with chopsticks
.
Sometimes I eat nigiri with chopsticks and yes, I do it the way you have described.
Crap, now I want sushi.
