HAL & STM32CubeMx

[MKent.1]

I will be working with some STM32F4 processors soon and so I am doing some reading ahead. What I am not clear on is if I use HAL to setup I/O or peripherals do I need to use STMCubeMX to set up the pins?

Can STMCubeMX (pin editor?) be opened from IDE?

No, STM32CubeMX generates code that uses HAL, but you can use HAL without using the CubeMX generated code.

Yes, STM32CubeMX is integrated within STM32CubeIDE.
