ISC, sure, it can be RTV'd, it just must not leak. I use xacto knife and bulk gasket material, napa still sells bulk here. in town.
not sure on the TB.
page 25 step55 and 1/2 half, tighten nuts to 17ft/lbs. check out page 62&63 for many more torques.

yes all things on the intake are sealed. EGR on a 96 has so many places to leak. each have a gasket and the side winder pipe SST has an SST gasket.
ISC , EGR, and top to bottom intake plenum as a huge gaseket, no vacuum line can leak but the PCV does leak at all times but has a tiny orifice in the the top valve cover.
i only use my torque wrench on main engine parts , the outside accessory parts , i use snug-up way, the exception is any 6mm bolt. i use 90 inch lbs max, or as the book says. 6mm are real frail.
8mm bolts are very safe.
you are doing great, nothing broken yet, you got the knack.
the EGR bolts are 6mm, , now those invite antisieze. working blind on car, there, is no fun and the lube here, really heaps in the future.
if you own the vacuum tools check all diaphragms for leakdown (inside cracks) and action. EGR min, is the only one on this car , 89s have 3.
good luck on your project,
