It always helps, but it's not really necessary for the tuner to know how to play the Piano too well. He/She must have a thorough understanding of the instrument well, and of course the understanding of pitch .

Not necessarily, Tuning Piano is mechanical task and Playing Piano is an art.

A tuner would normally play a little bit..but not like a professional. So its not a compulsory criteria. Tuning is done by listening to beats between intervals. He would ideally have knowledge of chord structures and chord progressions

No, it does not matter. He should be able to tune the piano and not necessarily play it.
