1) How exactly do you install the usb and aux port adapters? More specifically, where do you plug the usb and the aux ends of the adapters in? I don't see any slots on the radio for them.

The male USB plug end of the USB adapter should be plugged into one of the USB ports on the headunit (unless they changed it from the "4" to the "CT", there should be two female USB ports, I think at the end of a short cable, one of which already has a wi-fi dongle in it). The other end connects to the HU end of the original cable attached rear of the factory USB port.

I just wedged mine between a cable bundle and the underside of the center air conditioning vents. It works fine. You just need to avoid having large amounts of metal between it and the sky.

Not to my knowledge. In most cases, streaming music from a phone to a bluetooth speaker (which is what the HU is acting as in this case) is simply a digital audio stream without any track info. My recommendation is to copy all your downloaded/ripped music to the HU's memory card and use either Rocket Player or PowerAmp to play it directly, or enable hotspot mode on your phone and have the HU play Pandora or iHeart Radio or Slacker or whatever itself.
