homemade wine

Recently I tried to make wine by combining mashed grapes, simple syrup (1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup water) and 4 cups of water. I put all in a 1 gallon jug and fastened a rubber glove over the jar. After one week, the glove is now completely inflated. I did not add any yeast.

1) Do you have to use yeast to make wine?

2) I see what appears to be mold on top of the mashed grapes. Does that mean I've lost the batch?

3) Mold or no, have I made an inadvertant wine bomb?

thanks
