1. You should reply

Just to dick the sender around for a while. When they have to craft a bunch of person emails to address your questions, it got to be a bother for them. I exchanged close to a dozen emails with the Nigerian scammer before he gave up.

2. Yes, screw with his head for a while.

Go to http://www.419eater.com for a few tips. No. 1 tip is to not use your own e-mail address when replying. Set up one at hotmail or any other free service.
