I know we used to use coffee filters to clean glass windows because they left no streaks/smears. I don't drink coffee so never have them on hand otherwise.

It can make maybe a 5 degrees Celsius difference, between bad and good, maybe a bit more if extreme.

FWIW, I clean with 92% isopropyl and paper towels or face cleaning pads (like compressed cotton balls). It's worked the last 20 years, so I image it'll keep working.

What does that even mean? 20% better at conducting heat? Unlikely, that would mean that it would allow you to dissipate 240W when MX-4 let you dissipate 200W. 20% better temps? Are we measuring from ambient? In Kelvin?

60% of the time, it works every time.

I've used coffee filters and alcohol. Works fine. No fancy stuff needed.
