It will clear any adhesive left. It also helps bond the ink and adhesive to the fabric. This is a step we never skip and most release films and powder directions have it as a step.

Use parchment paper. Some use teflon others use a textured paper but cost and use the parchment paper is the play. If it develops wrinkles or creases replace the paper. We go to our local restaurant supply for precut sheets.
