well, it depends how you’re getting there.
switzerland isnt yet in the schengen zone (that comes this summer) but if you drive out of the country security checks are lax and you would need to bring a passport only just in case.
since its very unlikely that you will drive to sweden, you will probably fly. for flying you need to bring your passport and visa/ B permit.

Well, this isn’t exactly the same direction of travel but the countries are the same … I once flew from Sweden to Switzerland with a group of fellow Ph.D candidates, and one of them was Chinese — she didn’t seem to have any trouble whatsoever, but I can’t be sure if she may have made prior arrangements (I doubt it though). When we arrived at customs at the airport in Zürich they just glanced at her passport, and let her pass (we all had Swedish residence permits, so I don’t know if that made a difference).
This was in 2005
Edit: Wow … two thumbs down. I hate to tell you this, but this is what happened in my own personal experience. This person was a Chinese citizen with a Chinese passport (and a Swedish residence permit), and was allowed into Switzerland (and Italy) without so much as a second glance. I admit I don’t know if she had to apply for some kind of tourist visa, but I didn’t see anything that would have led to be beleive she had.

NO you can´t, because you do not have a European passport, get a visa by the Swedish embassy in Switzerland.

Yes, sure! A Schengen visa means you can enter any Schengen country, and Sweden is a Schengen country, so there’s no problem.
Here is the relevant text from the Swedish Migration Board (which is the government board officially responsible for this kind of issues):
“In Sweden it is the Schengen Agreement visa rules that apply. The Schengen Agreement means, that the Schengen states have abolished border controls for persons travelling between these countries. A visa granted by any one of these countries is also valid for visits to the other countries. In exceptional cases the visa could be valid only for entry into the issuing country or only for certain countries if the holder’s passport is not approved by all the Schengen countries.”

And for your second question: yes, you should always carry your passport with the approriate visa when you travels between the different Schengen countries, even if they often don’t check it. No other documents are needed.
