got a tight run on some lines, what’s the point of this 45 degree elbow versus a straight fitting

When you need to change direction without making a hard 90 degree turn, a 45 degree elbow gives you that angle change while keeping a solid connection for industrial setups.

Does this fitting need any thread sealant or special tape put on it before you run it in?

No sealant or tape required on this one. The 08MJ-04MP is built to connect without thread sealant, so you can go ahead and install it straight out of the box. Same goes for a mandrel, no need for one of those either. Keeps the job moving without the extra steps.
