The thread on inlet nut is standard right hand. Mine was very tight too t it did come loose, it should have a paper washer in it, mine did not so it was metal on metal, not good.
The fuel line is soldered at that joint from the factory, some are better than others and many have been repaired, poorly. It gets loose over time from removing the tank and flexing the line.
As far as using a new float, if you can find one to fit it would be fine.
