No. Ford Field in Detroit faces East and West. A field has to run North and South as mandated by the NFL Comission, but a field can be built East and West only with special consent granted by the Comission. It must first be reviewed before given consent.

No, not all pro football fields have a north/south layout. For example, the new multi-billion dollar Texas Stadium lays east to west.

There is no rule in the nfl rule book that requires endzones to be on the north/south sides of the field.

Most fields have endzones on the north/south sides so the sun doesn't shine in the players' eyes. This becomes a moot point in domed stadiums.

Although the football colloquium "a north/south runner" can still be used to refer to players playing on a field that lays east/west. This phrase refers to backs who don't use fancy footwork to gain yardage; rather, they run up the middle of the field with little deviation.

Because if they ran east and west there would be a sun factor. If a game was played in the late afternoon with a setting sun, one team would always be looking into the sun to catch punts/kickoffs and high arcing passes.

Most soccer fields do run north and south. This is because it prevents the goalie to have the sun in their eyes.
