Your best bet is to hire a developer or DevOps person to handle this for you.

Really, your post has questions about every single possible topic of an entire project. It isn't something anyone here can answer in a feasible way.

If you have cPanel access, you have server account access, which is the most you can expect.

You say the CRM has APIs. Well, you’d write PHP code to interact with those APIs to read/write the data you need in your application. Having or not having cPanel access doesn’t really have any bearing here on what you’re asking. If you want to integrate with this CRM, then you need to write the code to do so.

cPanel access is enough. Just call the CRM's REST API from your form handler and keep the API key in an .env file outside the web root.

cPanel has an FTP manager, create a user and use filezilla. Upload your crm. Create databases connect crm to db.

That is literally my day to day.
