78-80F. They are high-end tropical fish.
Betta fish should be kept in water 72-82'F(22-28'C).

No. Beta fish are very sensitive.They die easily because they are extremely suceptible to diseases, and if the temperature of their water is slightly colder than it should be, or if their water is not sanitary- has too much waste (pee or poop) in it- they die. I know this from experience. The same is true with goldfish.
72 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit
If you betta is in a small tank, placing it in a location that has a warm ambient room temperature should be enough to keep it to betta preferred warmth. If you do not, then you should look at getting a small heater for your tank, but you may need to get a larger tank to allow for the use of a heater as there are no heater models made for anything smaller than a 2.5 to 5 gallon tank.
Room temperature.
Its ok as long as you let the water cool to room temperature before adding the water back to the bowl, or adding the betta to the water. Also, it is completely unnesseary to boil before putting in your betta's bowl.
Typically inflamed gills are a sign of ammonia poisoning. Make sure that you clean the water every few days if your betta is in something smaller than 5 gallons; if you have your betta in something bigger, then you should change 50% of the water each week making sure that the new water is the same temperature as the old, and add in the recommended dosage of water conditioner per the directions on the bottle.
Yes, your betta water conditioner should be a standard water conditioner that can be used in any fish tank.
If your betta is in a tank or bowl that is 2.5 gallons or smaller, you should change 100% of the water once a week. If it's a 5 to 10 gallon, then change 50% to 75% of the water each week. Make sure that the new water you add back in is the same temperature of the old water, and use a water conditioner.Your betta only needs to be fed 2 to 3 betta pellets at a time two times per day.
