Tannins as well as a place for infusion to happen.
Alder cones and driftwood can serve the same purpose as far as tannins go. Oak leaf litter is found in several places that I collect natives at.

Yes, although it can be counteracted pretty easily if you were keeping Sulawesi or something.

Indian Almond Leaves (IAL) aka Cattapa Leaves.
These work also. You can get them online.
I got mine from a seller on The Planted Tank.
I use them in my Shrimp tanks and for my Corys
