You seem only to need ZODBMountPoint. But maybe you do not use server side 
sessions so you can live without TemporaryFolder which needs ZODBMountPoint to 
mount the temporary folder.
There is https://github.com/zopefoundation/Products.TemporaryFolder/issues/12 
to extract ZODBMountPoint into its own package. Feel free to comment there if 
you actually need ZODBMountPoint without TemporaryFolder.

This is only the case when using tempstorage, a RAM based storage 
implementation.
You could also configure an additional ZODB for the server side session data 
and mount it instead of using Products.TemporaryFolder.
This makes server side sessions persistent between restarts.

That’s right, some Products were part of Zope2 or install dependencies.
Zope 4 is a but more lightweight. So you have to install the Products you need.

No, you have to add them to buildout.cfg.

If you know how to use pip: It’s okay to use it.
I personally find Buildout more convenient.
