Ok, just got home and did a little searching.
I guess first of all, what are you rooting for? Do you just want to install the google apps so you have access to the Play marketplace or are you trying to install a new ROM? I know everyone has to start somewhere to learn, but maybe you should experiment with rooting a different device that is easier to recover from errors in case you run into problems. Kindles are not exactly easy to fix if you hit a snag.
Anyway, I have no experience with installing a different ROM on my Kindle. I've custom ROMed all my phones, but the HDX is a bit of a special case, so I didn't want to go in too deep yet. I rooted so I could have access to Google Play and replace Silk with Chrome. If that is all you are looking for, it's pretty easy to root and install HDXPosed and the Google Services, but using the HDX Toolkit to disable OTA updates is a little tricky.
Anyway, start with downloading ES File Explorer. You will need it installed to be able to install the Towelroot APK.
Go here for information about Towelroot, then go here for HDXPosed and links to the Google Services once you have sucessfully rooted with Towelroot.
Once you have HDXPosed installed and the Google Services running, you can use the HDX Toolkit to disable OTA updates so your Kindle won't automatically update and (best case) lose root or (worst case) brick itself. HDXPosed is supposed to disable OTA updates, but I've heard it doesn't work properly and I didn't want to take any chances.
You can always reverse the process (make sure Wifi is turned off and no cell service) and uninstall everything and re-enable OTA updates if you need to update for some reason later. I know the HDX Toolkit is supposed to be able to root your Kindle as well, but I found that using Towelroot is much easier.
If you are looking for information about installing custom ROMs, then go here for Safestrap and good luck!
I'm not sure where you found firedl but I've never seen it mentioned anywhere I always see apps2fire mentioned on the ftv sub. Give that a try it's probably a better option. You could also try the downloader app for your ftv, it's made by the AFTVnews guys and seems to work pretty well.
*Edit: You also have to turn on ADB in your settings on the FTV as well.
You need to use mouse toggle to help with this.
Mouse Toggle is not easy to see, but you can make it work. When you get the config file page, start at the upper right. Get there by hold the the up and right on the directional pad for about 5 seconds. You have to play around with this until you see a selection light up. Once you can see that, work your way to the menu on the left.
I suggest installing Total Commander as that may help with any permission issues on copying the config. I was able to make it work a few times last week on a few more firesticks. Thanks to Alex from this post.
Hope this helps. I have done about 15 firesticks now. It can be tedious to work with Mouse Toggle, but it gets the job done.
Certainly. It just lists all installed applications then you can just choose. I wish it was a grid but it works and it works well. If you use a mouse you can star your favorite apps so that they appear at top the list every time

This app is compatible with the Kindle Fire. Not compatible with phones i guess.
Go get them! :D If you find any error here, feel free to send me a PM.
No idea on the memory capacity. I don't see it on your Amazon links so you'll probably have to check the manuals/guides on each manufacturer's website.
Sideloading APKs is easy. If you're somewhat tech savvy the entire process takes 10-15 minutes.
You'll need the direct URL of the APK you want to install (eg www.whatever.com/app.apk) and the Downloader app and the VLC app from the Amazon App store on your TV. The Downloader app handles both the download and installation processes for you.
Edit: Formatting.
I moved files back and forth lots of times using ES Explorer. Open the app on both your phone and your stick, select the file on your stick and choose the "send" option, which will pull up all other devices on your LAN with the app open and let you select which device to send the file to. It's pretty easy.
Are you sure? Seems more something like this https://www.amazon.com/AFTVnews-com-Downloader/dp/B01N0BP507/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Downloader&qid=1555890040&s=gateway&sr=8-1 I believe it is an app to download Jellyfin not the Jellyfin app itself.
AndroZip is free this week on Amazon. Can't vouch for it but reviews seem ok.
My Downloader app has a built-in browser that supports downloading certain files.
Amazon Appstore Listing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0BP507/
More info about the app: http://www.aftvnews.com/downloader
So you want to copy the files to the local storage on the Firetv over the network?
You can do this with ES File Explorer.
You will have to share the files over the network though. That is the only way to... share files over the network.
another alternative if nothing else works is using the "total commander" app. it will remain listed in the recent apps.
install it and launch kodi/spmc. then as long as you do not close or restart the firetv/app, kodi/spmc will be the selected option the next time you launch total commander.
link to app on amazon appstore.
this to me is a better alternative than going to settings, managaged installed apps, LOADING APP TIME, scrolling down to kodi, enter, lauch app.
Just install the following app that will easily allow you to sideload apps
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N0BP507
More info here -> http://www.aftvnews.com/introducing-downloader-my-first-fire-tv-app-which-makes-sideloading-dead-simple/
Then you can do the following to add the add-ons you want...

I used to use a USB cable to transfer files, but something like WiFi File Explorer turned out to be more convenient for me.
The Kindle Fire is terrible at discovering and playing most videos (including MP4s). I'd suggest trying to play it using a file manger app like ES File Explorer or using installing the .APK for VLC to play it.
It may be related to something like this:

Two Amazon-approved apps that I think are essential for FireTV are Downloader and Total Commander.
If you get both, there is little need for ES File Explorer.
It looks like ifunbox is a file browser, so I'll point you at esfile explorer.
The same addons work with SPMC, the ones I use anyway. SPMC is designed for Android, and includes extra code/fixes to get the best out of the Fire Stick/TV. SPMC is available here. I don't know the current source for Not Sure. As for setting up, use the app Downloader to download SPMC.
Nope its still up. https://www.amazon.com/AFTVnews-com-Downloader/dp/B01N0BP507
Can't you just sideload the APK file?
use this
https://www.amazon.com/AFTVnews-com-Downloader/dp/B01N0BP507
to get this
http://niklabs.com/?wpdmdl=772
I dont know if this works on the sticks but:
use this Downloader
go to Kodi.tv Download -> Install.
I use the Download App to download and install files... why do you need anything else?
With the Downloader app.
https://www.amazon.com/AFTVnews-com-Downloader/dp/B01N0BP507
Total Commander
https://www.amazon.com/C-Ghisler-Total-Commander/dp/B00H4IHJ8M
just download a fileManager app.
https://www.amazon.com/ES-Mobile-File-Explorer/dp/B008K6HN8I
https://www.amazon.com/SmoothMobile-LLC-File-Manager/dp/B00872WN58

Here you go:
http://www.amazon.com/VLC-Mobile-Team-for-Fire/dp/B00U65KQMQ
I also suggest installing ES File Explorer:
http://www.amazon.com/ES-Mobile-File-Explorer/dp/B008K6HN8I
For me, I use a file management utility.
ES File Explorer File Manager: https://smile.amazon.com/ES-File-Explorer-Manager/dp/B008K6HN8I/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ES+File&qid=1556152549&s=gateway&sr=8-1
The actual link address on github is https://github.com/opensubtitles/service.subtitles.opensubtitles_by_opensubtitles/archive/master.zip
I've used AFTV's Downloader app (https://www.amazon.com/AFTVnews-com-Downloader/dp/B01N0BP507) to download the zip, and then installed it in Kodi from zip file.
In your kindle, go to Settings > Applications and make sure "Apps from Unknown Sources" is turned on.
Connect the kindle fire to your computer, copy the apk file in the OP's post into a folder. ( See https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201022260 )
Disconnect from computer, navigate to the directory ( I use ES File Explorer, which you can get from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/ES-Mobile-File-Explorer/dp/B008K6HN8I ). Double click on the APK and choose to open with the fire installer.
Install File Expert
http://www.amazon.com/Xian-Geek-File-Expert/dp/B004VMY62Q/ref=pd_sim_mas_1
Open the app and go to your apps. There you'll see a link to download more apps. No google andriod market needed.
Sorry, I was struggling to remember on the bus when I wrote that! It's this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Application-Organizer-Pro-Fire-Edition/dp/B00Q3907T6
I'm sure I paid less than 3 quid for it though :/
