Hello. I am very satisfied with the sound quality of the 2M blue. The only problem I had was that the plastic housing rested too low on the record and consequently scratched it.

I don't know the Oyster MM cartridge, but just listened briefly on Youtube (search term "Ortofon 2M Red vs Sumiko Oyster") and I am sure that the 2M Blue is a better cartridge. Personally, I have experienced and heard a huge improvement in sound when upgrading from the 2M Red to the Blue, and I think the 2M Red is already a better pickup. Maybe if you could be a little more specific about what you're looking for, or what you're not happy with in the Oyster MM, I can answer your question better. The tone arm of the TEAC looks like a standard tone arm, so it should fit. For experienced hands, changing the pickup is not a difficult matter. The big challenge is the alignment/adjustment. If you are not quite sure, and before you break something, I would take it to a professional, at least for the first time.
There are only screws included, so if you don't have any holes for them, no. If you have an SME 3012 tonearm, for example, you still need a headshell.
Yes, even a small screwdriver is included.
I guess so, installed them myself on a Technics 1210 MK5. They should be similar.
