Any advice which adhesive to use? I’ve seen a russian replacement video, it looked like the guy was using some kind of silicone.

I used B-7000 glue. It enables you to release the screen when a second replacement is needed.

Assuming I purchase a screen off of ebay, and replace it using this method, will the touch id still work?
