Actually, no database needs a rootdn.  You can rely completely
on ACLs if you want.  And, if a database has a rootdn, it
a rootpw only makes sense to set a rootpw when the rootdn is
within that database's scope.  And even then, the rootpw
is optional.  You can rely on the entry referred to be rootdn
to provide the password.

No. The rootdn directive is per database.

Set a rootdn which is within that database and then
provide a rootpw for that rootdn.

Yes.  Replication directives are per database.
