You need to file both GSTR 3B and GSTR 1. Filing of GSTR 3B is very simple as you will asked whether you like to file nil return. For GSTR 1 prepare it online, just enter turnover details as asked, generate summary and file. 

Yes, GST returns are required to be filed, even nil returns. For Nil Return- 3B, (At present) Penalty is Rs. 20 per day

Yes you are required to file a Nil return.
