Windows 10: Bitlocker question

Im thinking to setup Bitlocker but Im not sure of a few things.

I understand if I setup auto unlock with TPM and the drive was removed and connected to a different computer it will not auto unlock. But what if the entire computer was stolen or something? In such case is the computer only as secure as the windows login password (which is probably not that secure) and Bitlocker is practically useless?

As long as I have the recovery key if anything goes wrong with the TPM/system drive will I still be able to unlock the system drive/fixed data drive? The last thing I want is not able to unlock it when one thing goes wrong.

Also if I require bitlocker password on boot should I still have windows login password too?
