How do I get the post into the 4x4? I’m worried about keeping the hole straight, and with what can I use?

You’ll need a level. You can brace the steel post to keep it straight or simply pound it in a bit to hold it. Then pour concrete in hole around it. Lots of videos online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6f98daPgFw If you’re using steel posts you can just bolt 2x4s to the steel. You don’t need 4x4s.
