I know I have a lot of questions, but this is only my 2nd year. lol.
Any speedy help would be greatly appreciated.

Generally, there are no rules on how to build your robot. It does not matter what screws, nails, zip ties, etc... you use as long as it works. Just use common sense, and you'll probably be all right. Do read the manual though.

I would recommend not using zip ties to mount the cRIO. It's too heavy to be mounted with zip ties and to remain on the robot during competition. I would use a small machine bolt, but remember to keep it insulated from the frame (aka use a piece of wood or some other non-conductive material to mount the cRIO).
