trying to snake a hose around a bracket, would this 45 with the swivel end help keep it from fighting me during install?

For tight routing, the 45 degree bend gives you a directional change without going to a full 90, and the female pipe swivel end can rotate during assembly and after it is installed. That rotation helps you line threads up without twisting the connected line, which cuts down on stress and misalignment.

Can this fitting handle a little bit of movement after I get everything tightened down? I'm not always perfect lining things up.

The swivel end is indeed designed to allow for some rotational movement, both while you're assembling everything and even after it's all installed. This helps prevent stress on the lines and makes it easier to route them, especially if you're working in a tight spot.

Got a line that needs to angle off at 45 degrees but can't stay fixed in place during hookup. Will the swivel end on this fitting actually keep rotating after everything's installed, or just during assembly?

The swivel end stays functional both during assembly and after installation. That's kind of the whole point of this style of fitting. It lets the connected line rotate so you're not fighting stress or binding once everything's torqued down. Real handy when your routing doesn't have a lot of wiggle room and a rigid connection would just put strain on the line over time.
