They will dim with the DC ports, it's basically the same as it's controller. In reef-pi add the DC port as a Jack for light and you're set.
All the DC ports are good for around 3 amps but that's also the max for all them together. More can flow but that's getting to the traces limits.
You don't need a fan for the Pi as they withstand high temps but it definitely helps and probably good for Pi long term. You can see the 4 holes in the lid, it's for a fan like this. You'll also see a 2 pin plug behind the DC input that you can plug the fan into.
