IPD would be my first choice since, in over 20 years, they have never sent me the wrong part. I've received parts for the wrong model year a couple of times from FCP. I use FCP for my Mercedes, and while they're great, I would stick with IPD.
Next, you don't need a rear crank seal. Unless you plan to pull the engine and transmission apart, which isn't needed.
Next, clean the bottom of the car however you like. IF you're able to hose it down with Simple Green and wash it all off, great. Some environments, like mine, near the beach, where it all goes into wetlands, don't allow for that. In my case, brake cleaner and cloth rags, wiping down what I can see, worked well. I needed a couple cans of brake clean and good cotton rags that don't fall apart. Don't use chlorinated brake cleaner, that stuff causes some strong fumes that you really don't want to inhale. Non-chlorinated will be just fine. Still want good ventilation. I have a fan the blows fresh air under the car when using that sort of stuff.
Next, NO, there is no gasket for the oil pan. None.
That's where the anaerobic sealer comes in. Use only that. No RTV. The surfaces must be clean and dry. Really dry. So, use a plastic razor blade to remove the old sealant and to avoid scratching or gouging the mating surfaces. DO NOT use abrasives of any kind. You'll destroy the mating surfaces and likely the engine when a few abrasive particles get where they shouldn't be. Clean it with the razor blade, then brake clean with a good rag. Clean, dry, and follow the sealant directions. Use new o-rings between pan and block. The oil pick-up is part of the pan. The pump is part of the block. Those o-rings ensure the performance of the pump and must be replaced.

It will have more parts than you need. Read IPD's product description for more insight into the job.
You have to do the cam seals first, or the engine will puke out all its oil again. So, cam and crank seals and timing belt (with water pump if you choose). But, then you need to get the PCV system/pan drop done or the engine will push out the cam seal you just replaced.
The order doesn't really matter since you need to do this all at once or you will have problems again.
This gives you the torque for the oil pan:
