It is recommended to send a copy to an IEEE conference with the hyper-references activated?
This includes hyperlinks to sections, equations, tables, references, etc. The paper was written using LaTeX.

Yes, with a caveat: make sure that the hyperrefs don't include any information that can't be gleaned from the text itself. For example, a common mistake is to use \href
to hide a URL, as in:
Our tool is available online \href{http://www.github.com/some/repo/}{here}.
This is acceptable on websites but not in a paper because if the paper is printed, the URL is not visible and impossible to recover. Similarly, this is bad:
As we showed \hypertarget{page1sec2}{earlier}, every Foo Bar is a Foo Baz
since it only displays the text "earlier", so an offline reader will have trouble following the backward reference.
Generally, tools like cleveref
(\Cref
/ \cref
) do a better job of displaying something that is readable both in text and in interactive form.
Our tool is available on \href{http://www.github.com/some/repo/}{www.github.com//some/repo/}

\url{http://www.github.com/some/repo/}
?
Yes: They help navigate the document. (Except if the conference forbids them, then no.)
hyperref
package I would strongly suggest calling \hypersetup{colorlinks=true, unicode=true, linkcolor=[rgb]{0.10,0.05,0.67}, citecolor=[rgb]{0.10,0.05,0.67}, filecolor=[rgb]{0.10,0.05,0.67}, urlcolor=[rgb]{0.10,0.05,0.67}}
or similar after importing, which replaces the ugly boxes with nice blue links (which is configurable in the above) instead - a lot more readable in my opinion. Check your conference guidelines of course.
