You don't need to remove any part of the shroud to remove the filter. The drain plug is 14mm, I think. Be sure to get a proper drain plug washer. They are a part number, made of two washers, with a thin rubber on each side and in the middle.

is this what i need?

Yeah.. i bought a 10 pack of filters and 10 washers from them a month back... (have yet to change my oil) and, as someone else on this board suggested, i taped a washer to the inside cover of each filter box so it will be there when I change the oil.

Yes, that is correct. I got a bag of ten from my dealer for $23.60. They are a sandwich of two metal washers with a thin rubber coating on each side and in the middle, so they seal without having to tighten the threads much. They also are not crushed or damaged in use, so that I reused one at the last oil change I did.

If you are not lowered there is no need for a jack/jack stand. You can remove and replace the filter and plug without them.

But a pair of simple low ramps sure does make it easier...

The drain plug gasket is Part No. 90430-12031 for $2.36 each. It is not a crush washer, but is aluminum with a plastic coating on each face. In being tightened, it is not crushed, and even though I have 10 of them on hand, I re-use them if they look perfect. If the gasket was deformed, or the plastic facing damaged, I would use a fresh gasket.
