1) A sphere has the smallest ratio of surface area to volume, thus
it is the best shape for building a large object with the minimum
amount of material.
2) The gravity of the Death Star could not come from its mass. Look
closely at the docking bay next time you see the movie. It is
oriented 90 degrees off from the way it would have to be in order
to take advantage of gravity. (There has to be some form of
artificial gravity instead.)
