Registering a domain name

Do I need a .mobi domain?

No not really, if you have a site and want to redirect your mobile traffic just do sub-domain m.mysite.com or mysite.com/m you don't need .mobi domain

Can this be done with wordpress or do I use a plugin?

I believe you can do this quite easily in cPanel.

Create the subdomain:
Creating a subdomain - CPanel Tutorials - Hosting Control Panel - Dayana Host

and then redirect it:
Redirecting web pages in cPanel

If those tutorials aren't clear enough just ask and I'll try to explain it better

The redirect mentioned above is not what you want. That will just permanently redirect one url to another. You want a mobile redirect code which detects if users are on mobile devices, if they are they are redirected automatically to the mobile version.
