    Note that if $A=operatorname{Id}_n$, then $A^3-3A^2-A+3operatorname{Id}_n=0$, in spite of the fact that the only root of the characteristic polynomial of $operatorname{Id}_n$ has multiplicity $n$. So, no, you don't have to prove that all roots of the characteristic polynomial of $A$ have multiplicity $1$.

The polynomial $P(X)=X^3-3X^2-X+3 = (X-1)(X-3)(X+1)$ has three distincts real roots and you have $P(A)=0$, so $A$ is diagonalizable over $mathbb{R}$.

Solving a simpler example, $A-cI_n=0$, it's clear that $a_{(i,i)}=c$ because $a_{(i,j)} - cI_{(i,j)} = 0$ for all $i,j in {1,dots,n}$. From here, a slightly more complicated example is $(A-cI)(A-dI)=0$ forces two conditions (for diagonal elements of $A$ and off-diagonal elements of $A$) that will lead you to a solution for general matrix polynomials.

    We know that the minimal polynomial divides any polynomial that $A$ is a root of. It's pretty easy to guess that $x=1$ is a root, and using polynomial division you can find that the other two roots are $x=-1, x=3$. Since all the roots are of multiplicity $1$, all of the roots of the minimal polynomial are of multiplicity $1$, and so $A$ is diagonalizable.
