You only need to change the fuel pressure regulator to something that will up the pressure if you've got other mods that mean you can use the extra fuel. If you put one on a standard engine then it's not going to do much.
If you go for one then FSE aren't meant to be all that great, they don't hold pressure too well and tend to tail off a bit meaning you can go lean just when you don't want to (high revs). The Weber ones are better quality, as are the Aeromotive offerings. I believe Nic Barnes has a copy of an Aeromotive one on his car, which seems to do the job. But as with anything like this, you get what you pay for...

depends if it was set up properly in accordance to modifications by people opperating a rolling road then it may make a slight difference. possibly.

The limiting factor on this guys engine is probably going to be the cams. Different cams, higher fuel pressure and a remap would let you get a bit more from the engine with that manifold. You'd have to decide what you want to use the car for because if it's more for driving to work e.t.c.. you might not want lumpy idle and having to rev the tits off of it?

It's the torque that kills them rather than the speed. There have been plenty of people before who have done similar mods to what you're planning without transmission problems, so I'd say you're pretty safe with the gearbox you have

If you are running standard management then its pointless really as there is no requirement for extra fuel pressure.
Best to get a fuel pressure regulator with a guage so at least you can have peace of mind your injectors are being fed the correct pressure
