Yes. Text-based installer is the only accessible release. Either
Ncurses-based, for braille, either pure CLI, for speech synth.

Nothing. Just choose, when choosing additional packages, MATE desktop.
As you install in an accessible way (braille or speech), everything is
done automatically (including speakup configuration to make tty speak if
you install with speech).

Automatic too.

Yes.

Note that on Stretch, I believe that if you install through
speech/braille, MATE is choosen automatically as default desktop.
