I suggest buying the muffler online an then have a shop meld it on might be cheaper. I Have the magnaflow 14" casing si/do and there is some drone but it isn't horrible and it sounds nice while taking off. If you go for loud and sound then I'd suggest flowmaster but if you also want one that is loud and helps the truck breath better then magnaflow is good because it's a straight through muffler.

Correct. The shop can supply, cut and bend piping to size. I would also look into borla mufflers. They sound awesome. A little bit more pricey, but seems worth it.

Check with the shop and see what muffler is included with the quote they gave you. Then ask them what they would charge to install if you supply muffler and tips and see if you will save much by getting muffler and tips online.

You didn't mention the year you have, I would go airraid and tuner. These 2 will offer the most gain for the least amount of work.
No real performance to be had on the 5.4 by messing with the exhaust unless you go long tubes, true duals, x or h pipe and a tune for them, however that is out of your league at $600.
If you want to do anything with the exhaust just swap the stock muffler. If you have a welder its a few hours of work. My 08 was 2.5" pipe and I needed to buy a chunk to compensate for the stock muffler. The stainless exhaust systems are really only going o give you sound more than performance so save the money and just get an after market muffler. You are talking about $100 for supplies depending on the muffler you go with.
