On solaris you still need to reboot so that all processes pick up the

Absolutely. Linux and other platforms too, I would guess.
No, I don't believe so.
Solaris has two patches: one is for "POSIX" timezones (TZ=EST5EDT),
and the other is for "geographic" ones (TZ=America/Boston). The
reboot is needed because some kernel files are changed: not sure
exactly why they're changed.
For Linux (and the BSDs I believe), once the files in /usr/share/
zoneinfo are updated (and /etc/localtime if it's not a link), then
things should be good.
Though it's best to do your own testing and not take my word for it. :)
