What size is your SASE? 6x9?

If it is 6x9 plus the stuff you mentioned, I did a weight check and all that should weigh 2 ounces. I checked the usps site and it said you will need $1.74 in postage.

As for IRCs, I don't use them much but I think 2 or 3 should be enough

You can use any envelope you want.
How many stamps do i need to put on it? Can i use forever stamps?
You will need more stamps than normal. How much does it weigh? What are you sending? You will need at least 0.94 in stamps, maybe more.
What do i put on the return envelope?
And i read that you should put AIR MAIL stickers on it, but i cant find any, are Priority Mail Stickers the same thing?
Leave the SASE with just your address. If you have Austrailian stamps that is great otherwise you will need IRCs. I usually WRITE "Airmail" on it because I don't have stickers.

I hope that has been helpful. Feel free to pm me or post again if you need more help. {up}
