Just make sure to not put it on backwards. My son did that and made a really big mess REALLY FAST when he started the engine.

Ouch! Bet that was ugly. Sounds like something I'd do...

Spray Tac works well also. Just a light coat.

There isn't a gasket for that cover, you use a gasket maker. The Ford grey stuff if the best, but I'm sure you don't have any of that. Just use a good gasket maker and you'll be fine.

Sorry... I didn't remember that being there. It's only been about three years since my son worked on his HPOP, I've not had to do anything on mine yet, and the one on my Excursion has only received a new IPR (installed from the rear w/o removing the HPOP).
