banjo bolt doesnt get tape, make sure you use new crush washers, for the NPT fittings yes, but don't put it all the way up to the edge/tip of the fitting

correct, on not using teflon on the banjo, just on the pipe threads.

I have had fuel pressure gauges on both filter and rail for 4 years and ran teflon, never leaked, soo I'd say YES!

You can also use the teflon paste rather than the tape
