You should not need teflon tape on AN fittings.

Only potentially on the passenger side. You need a 90 degree on the driver, but I used a 90 degree hose end rather than a fitting.

I don't see how they could be involved in sealing, but they might provide stability for the fitting.

I see Mishimoto and it’s pretty pricey and I could find a similar aftermarket brand for cheaper.

I just installed a custom Champion three row that moved the location of the top hose and cleaned up my turbo install. It was $400 and the fittings worked well on it too.
Here is a pic of the fitting in the radiator and in the driver's side of the trans.
