    I've looked all over the place and as far as I can tell "There is no point in talking" and "There is no point talking" are both correct and acceptable.
    In written English, I would tend to use 'in'.
    In spoken English, the sentence would be understood and accepted either way, I believe.

    yes, it is not needed
