1. The Noveske anti-rotation pin is moot unless you drill the matching hole in your receiver. It is meant for the Noveske-spec VLTOR upper that is machined with the hole for the pin. You don't really need it if you properly torque the barrel nut. My home built upper didn't use it and it's as rock solid today as it was when I first put it together nearly 18 months ago with one of the very first NSRs shipped out.
2. The Noveske doesn't need a special wrench, which is why it doesn't come with one. You can use a standard crow's foot on a torque wrench or an adjustable wrench and your calibrated elbow, if you're one to do that.
3. You aren't going to cover the entire rail in rail panels because there is no need to do that with Keymod, which is why they aren't called "rail covers." You only need them where you usually grip the rail to help isolate your hand from the heat of your barrel. So, a lot of the rail will still be exposed, if that sort of thing matters to you.
