If you want to use the Milltek to change the exhaust sound, you're probably best to use it as-is. As you've surmised, in theory, you'll lose a small amount of low-end torque with the 2.5" vs 2.25"...

No - according to the video, the CARB cert for the FA24 kit is not done yet. "For our US market, we'll be putting this through a CARB E.O. application just like the FA20 kit."

Does your factory head unit not have Android Auto already? This only works with factory wired Android Auto to make it wireless. It can't add Android Auto to a unit that doesn't have it.
