Yes you can get fancy guppies, and male look prettier, but if you wanted you could get girls, or both but you’ll have lots of babies (that can be a plus). Sponge filters aren’t expensive.
Just find a properly rate air pump for your size, typically they have the rating in the description. You’ll also need a piece of sponge, airline tubing, and an air stone

You should be able to find airstones for $1-2 at a local fish shop. You’ll also need an air pump rated for your pond size.
Under gravel filters are mainly junk.
Use something like an aquaclear 20 (very good for bettas and adjustable current, perfect on a 20g tank too) or a smaller version of something like this.
You don't need an airstone for a betta (unless running a filter like the second listed) so I would go with the AQ20. It's very silent, uses reusable/washable foam and real biomedia. It's a bargain for what it does.
If you don't use a heater, than when you catch your koi, you can bring them inside and let the bucket sit overnight so the temperature is the same as the tub. If your pond was filled with the same water your tub is, I would not worry about water parameters. If on city water, it needs to be dechlorinated. Since it hasn't froze yet, I would catch a few koi a day, put them in a bucket, bring it in overnight, and then put the koi in the tub.
Does the pond have a filter? 18 4 inch koi is a big bioload, you do not want to cycle your tub, you want to either transfer the ponds filter inside, or get the new filters going on the pond now, to build up bacteria. The less you feed, the less load you put on the filters.
The filters are basically the same.
