Does anyone know where I can get the release and breather ply? Also, the release ply first on the glass then the breather?

No its not a must. You can just use the bag itself, but you really need to know your stuff. I'm not at that level and doubt I ever will be. Ive heard Alex from wefunk just uses the bagging material. Good luck!

For people with Vacuum bags, do you put a smaller amount of resin when fibreglassing as the bag would push any excess resin so the side and stuff up the bag?

briggs veneer is for shortboards only. Mr ply and wood should have 1.5mm hoop pine ply which will work well for a drop deck
