no, ignore whoever the hell told you it was fin rot, because he shouldn't be allowed to have fish lol. that's a healthy looking FH.

this is where I have no idea. I'm not a FH expert by any means.
 
Yes Midas/red devil gene. If it had that dorsal spot before most likely female.

Also faders are not rare whatsoever. It's not common but tons of faders out there.

Here's my fader before and after...

Not all faders have this Midas orange color most are very light orange yellowish color.
I have another male fader with no hump the kok or hump gene depends on the parents genetics.

Yours has some Trimac in it looks like and my fish is a Kamfa and yours is a ZZ so they're two different strains of flowerhorns. You can tell the difference of the shape right away.

This is my male ZZ with no hump
