Yes it matters. You need Dextron 3 ATF. It will tell you that in the owners manual and on the cap of the power steering reservoir.

Yes, Auto Trany Fluid, Dextron II or above. Get yourself an owners manual, a must have for any vehicle in my opinion, and a Service Manual, both can be found on ebay for a reasonable price and invaluable for info.
