Is hydrogen bonding a form of dipole-dipole force, and if not, do we have to list both in a molecule like NH3?

Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole dipole IMF.
Dipole dipole is when there is a pull of the electrons towards a certain atom/direction, and H-bonding is when that pull is with a hydrogen attached to a N, O, or F atom. Yes, you have to put both if both are present.
