The asterisk (*) is not necessary. You can execute just
$ ctags -R

The tags do not go into a folder; they go into a regular file. If
you have a folder named tags, you will need to either rename that
folder or tell ctags and vim to use a different name for the tags
file.
If you are executing "ctags -R *" or "ctags -R" within vim, try
executing it outside of vim, at the shell prompt. That may let you
see any warnings more easily.

No, ctags does not require that the code be compiled.
However, some programs generate C source files from files written in
other languages, such as YACC. You may need to compile your code
before ctags will find symbols defined in generated files.
