Yes, just install custom rom then you have root. (root build-in custom rom). No need to install superSU, however you need to flash TWRP first inorder to flash custom rom.

What would an official bootloader unlocking tool offer us if we already have the ability to flash custom ROMs onto the device?
we could flash custom kernels, which would make overclocking possible, or maybe other functionalities...

You can use nvlash. This gives more possibilities to unbrick.
And you can install roms without being root. Without root (and cwm) you cannot install custom rom.

this probably will not be the case actually, I forsee that they will just give fastboot access
if so can anyone point out a tutorial?
Hello,
If your stock with only a custom recovery, you will need to download the OTA zip file and flash it via custom recovery.
However, if you have a custom kernel/mods installed then you will need flash the stock images and then flash the OTA zip via recovery.
Yes
You'll get the official OTA updates as long as you have the stock ROM(even if it is rooted) and Recovery.
But you may lose the root after the update.

You need to flash the SuperSU zip via recovery to have root access. Flashing supersu doesn't wipe your device's configuration or files. Unlocking the bootloader wipes it!
Use Helium to backup your apps when you're unrooted. Once you have root access, I would recommend using Titanium Backup!

the bootloader has to be unlocked to flash/boot to twrp/cwm, which is required for root.

I think you should head over to general section and read the Stickies first before tinkering with your device!
This is the flow...:
1. Unlock the bootloader (Wipes everything off the phone)
2. Flash custom recovery
3. Flash SuperSU.
Hoorah! You're rooted!
Rooting
And if your not sure how to root your phone i would really read up on it first or you may brick it,untill your sure you can do it.......If it aint bust dont fix it

Didn't you see the twrp on "recoveries and rom section"? You will need a custom recovery to root with magisk.

I mean install Magisk first and then install TWRP through the Official TWRP APP and install custom ROM from it.

If you're rooted, then yes it's technically possible. However, Samsung has been implementing security features to prevent custom binaries so this may not work, and may result in Secure Boot Fail.
