Is it necessary for the petitioner to be at the consulate interview. He is in the US and I will be interviewing at the consulate in my country. Would it be bad if he is not there?

Not required 

YMMV

It's not required, actually it is good that the petitioner already went back to US as which means the petitioner has reestablished the residency  in US.

But the petitioner being there for the interview helps to validate the relationship in high fraud countries.
