You don't need to set up anything in Gmail either, Fastmail has Gmail connectors that pull all your mail and calendars and even lets you send email through Gmail from Fastmail. It's ridiculously convenient.

I have had Fastmail pull from Gmail for about 10 years just in case I need to log into a website I haven't logged into for ages. It just works. My gmail is abandoned save for the occasional password reset which flows through Gmail to Fastmail.
Yes super easy. You can do this using Gmail's filter service. However, many services will also let you log in to gmail via POP/IMAP (OAuth for auth) and fetch the email from your gmail for you that way.

I guess it's hard to know for sure, but I've not noticed any problems with this when the underlying provider is a well-known sender such as Gmail or Fastmail.
