Yes you should put fluid back in before you lower the roof, otherwise you could damage the new pump. And yes you should put the reservoir plug in before trying it or you run the risk of leaking fluid out and damaging the new pump.
Hydraulic fluid is hydraulic oil.... as for the type you use, depends on your system. I used to own two tractor-trailer end dumps, and I actually used ATF rather than hydraulic oil. Check with the OEM for your hydraulic system before you do this, though.
Lots of people forget they have to lift the handbtake before the roof will operate

Hydraulic fill is on top of the transmission but be sure to remove both drain plugs at the trans and back end as they are connected before refilling.

No - they are usually balanced by changing the numbers before the molecules.

No. Only hydraulic oil can be used in hydraulic jacks. Hydraulic oil is compressed (a requirement for use in hydraulic cylinders) so that there are no air or other gases dissolved in it. Before adding hydraulic fluid to the jack, be certain that the fluid has been sitting for at least 24 hours to avoid introducing air into the hydraulic fluid in the chamber.You should be able to purchase hydraulic oil (sometimes it will be labeled "Hydraulic Jack Oil/Fluid or Jack Oil/Fluid) in small or large quantities, inexpensively, at any auto parts store worthy of the name. It can also be purchased at some Walmarts and any heavy equipment supply stores.
