Since AddmusicK became the only Addmusic tool this site support several years ago, the quality standard is raised a lot. AddmusicK has more features for better quality SMW music.
AddmusicK has a "porter mode" that lets you hear your port without inserting them into ROM.
TinyMM still works, but it's no longer recommended. PetiteMM do the job better, plus handling triplet notes correctly.
For the rest of your questions, I recommend you just relearn everything. Wakana's tutorial explains porting for AddmusicK pretty well.

I see. Yeah, it would be best to re-learn everything and start from the bottom, eh? Hahaha... Maybe then I'll realize the dream of someone using my port(s) in a hack <3. Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate it!

It has very comprehensible sections describing each command (old and new) which you may find interesting and/or useful, and it also has a few neat features like an automatic ADSR generator. Also, AddmusicK has mixed the majority AM4 and AMM's hex commands, and now BRRs are the standard instead of BNKs.
The basic mml structure hasn't changed at all though. I'd say the "biggest" change would be what you put at the top of your txt now. (See readme.html > syntax reference > special commands)
Finally, SPC700 Player is still the norm, but now there's a BRR Player that allows you to hear the BRR samples before you use them in any given song, and there's a BRR Samples section that needs a bit more love, but that is made a lot better by this BRR Player tool.
I may be missing something but that's the general gist of it, I think.
tl;dr: amk's readme.html will get you up to date.
Also welcome back

I see! I tried my hand at samples and failed miserably, hahaha. I might give it another shot, but I'll most likely stick to vanilla ports. (Hopefully the community doesn't have anything against those yet! )
Thanks for the help, both of you!
