I'll try to ASSner some questions

Usually the PS filter comes with a new gasket for the cover.

No picture of the suction gun but WM and AZ carry them for about $10. Looks like a grease gun or big shot needle. Stick the hose it and pull back on the handle, it will suck about a quart.

"PS" fliud is usually clear. Most manuals call for ATF in the PS system. ATF and PS fluid are mostly nothing more than hydraulic fluid. Traditionally hyd fluid is colored red for identification. Help to prevent hyd leaks from being confused for oil leaks.

"PS" fluid is basically clear ATF, but repackaged and sold at a higher price.

There are probably some subtle differences between ATF and PS fluid. Either is probably going to be just fine for 99% of PS systems.
