<<Do you think that it's too risky to develop the film in a normal lab?>>

In MY own experiences... you have to mention that it IS infrared film so that they don't handle it the wrong way... You tell them it is infrared film and some will totally refuse to do anything with it... so if you're lucky enough to find one who will do it just ask them if they've done it before and all of that... 
You'll probably look at the prints and realize you want to PRINT them yourself at least anyway!!!

<< One other question: What do you think about the necessity of using filters
 with b&w films and with color films?
>>

NECESSITY?  Well... it is all opinion... but in MINE at least... it IS a necessity with IR film...  You need to block out visible light to a certain extent to enjoy the unique qualities of IR film... 
As for regular b&w or color films... it is not really a NECESSITY... more like a creative tool!  Some might think certain ones are necessary like polarisers or anything like that... but its all individual opinion ya know?

Anyway... welcome to the world of IR ;-)
You'll find that this list helps A LOT as a beginner!
