Yes, otherwise you will have leaks
yes
Not necessary, but recommended along with pipe thread compound.
If Teflon tape isn’t effectively sealing brass fittings, you can try using pipe joint compound or thread sealant specifically designed for metal fittings. Another option is to disassemble the joint and inspect the threads for damage or debris, which may prevent a proper seal. Additionally, ensuring that the fittings are tightened adequately and considering the use of new fittings may also help resolve the leak.
yes
Lead wipe a brass nipple into the lead pipe and then use a female adapter x PVC on the brass threads
It's real important to apply your Teflon tape in a clockwise direction which coincidentally is the same way you thread on most of your fittings.. If you apply the tape in an anticlockwise direction it will unravel as you screw on the fitting which will render it useless. To apply , this is what l find the easiest.
flax fibers, teflon would probably do the trick too.

Yes, but only if it is necessary.
follow the top radiator large hose to the top of the engine, it connects to a black plastic distribution contraption... There will be two smaller hoses that connect to it as well... on the top there is an electric connector that goes to the temperature sensor which threads into the plastic case, it should be a brass hex head that should thread out for replacement... good luck!

Any pipe dope will work but Teflon tape is a lot cleaner.
No. Not without significant modification at least. You should look into upgrading to something.... not plastic.
Sadly no. If you look at the ends of the barrel, you will notice the threads. Those threads are not the same as a brass eagle threads.
