1) Do I also need to take the unusual background(PSI)?

Only if the GM says you have to. In general, you don't have to take an unusual background if it's an ability you could buy without the UB.

Possibly; I forget what sort of psi detection is available in the Imperium. Again, ask your GM (in CT, you really couldn't have psi without knowing you had it, so this doesn't come up in canon).

There's a psi detector in the Fifth Frontier War era but not the Interstellar Wars one. It seems to be a clicky-clicky Geiger counter like box.

However, The issues of Traveller and Conon being what they are I can tell you that there is no canonical use of any psionics similar to Luck in the Official Traveller universe.

If your e GM (and that's who you need to talk to) is going very far afield in _his_ TU he can do what he likes of course.
