The Neo2 comes with all the needed parts to mount the XP90. What you will do is remove the plastic faceplate and re-screw thermalright's into position. Once you have done that you clip the HSF on and you are done

No. The metal backplate is glued to the back of the mobo. When you unscrew the stock hs mount the backplate will stay in place. Then screw the Thermalright mount on and clip on the hs.
