Way I see it, walls are the reason you have siege engines in the first place. Without walls, the enemy wouldn't need to spend the tons of extra upkeep and resources building siege engines, and could just come in unopposed and kill your army.

Walls make it so the enemy has to sit outside your city and plink you for a while, rather than just wiping you off the map. It also makes their armies more resource-draining to them, so they need more time to prepare. It is a stalling measure. 

Nope you can still siege a city and not touch its walls and capture it at the end, its all about population and getting the numbers down, not the city wall.
