There is no settings specific for 5200. By default, DVI output is set to 720x480, analog output - RGB 15kHz CSYNC. vgate off, 2-color HiRes off, LUM0 off.
You don't need a special factory programming for 5200. An Atari 8-bit computer is needed to change the resolution and some other video features with a SCONF tool you can download on this thread. I was going to convert that to 5200 but I haven't done it yet.
I've obtain this effect with and without VBXE, using a hot-air. Heating the ANTIC alone doesn't bring a positive result, but heating only the GTIA - it does. The screen shift seen on the picture from VBXE follows that the sync signal is there still from the GTIA.
1. External power is needed only when the IDE+ is used with unmodified 800XL. Necessary connector/terminals are included. Didn't you find them?

BTW the internal modification of the 800XL (+5V on 47 and 48 pins of the PBI connector) is most comfortable and makes the external power needless.
2. There is no special recommendation. Something like that is good, but I think you can find it much cheaper. I usually pay no more than $10 for 1GB one.
