Consider a user making multiple requests at the same time, do I have to lock all code that works with the Session?

Answer 1

Two requests to an ASP.NET application for the same same session, where the handlers do not use the IReadOnlySessionState marker interface or have the EnableSessionState="ReadOnly" turned on for your pages, will be serialized by the ASP.NET runtime to guarantee consistency of the state. So if you have two pages that are able to write to the session state, they will be accessed serially no matter what the client does on their side.

It's up to your application code to signal to ASP.NET with the afforementioned techniques whether or not a page/handler is going to write to the session state. If you do not, all requests will be serialized and the performance of your web application will suffer.
