>> Try rotating the neck in the socket and see if the resistance is constant or if it gets looser and then tighter. If the resistance varies (and I suspect it will) then your neck tenon is out of round. <<

If the neck tenon is out of round then resistance should be pretty much the same all around. If the neck tenon is out of round, it will have resistance in any position in the round socket. If both neck tenon and socket are out of round then resistance can change depending on position of the neck.

As far as the peg, it will allow you to control the height of the instrument which can help a lot depending on your height and the chair you have. If you only play standing with a strap/harness then a peg won't help.
