The Germans would have plenty of oil from Azerbaijan. No need to antagonize Italy.Libyan oil might be an exception there, if either Axis power last long enough to need it.

Plus a lot of natural gases in the Russian areas annexed, though it depends on how much land is annexed precisely and how much is a buffer state or something. I expect the Nazis would threaten any Soviet rump state and have it be part of the reparations they pay the Germans, with an extremely deflated price. There is also the Middle Eastern oil or that of the North Sea, but those are all a bit outnof the way and would partially depend on if the Germans are looking for it in the North Sea and Norwegian Sea and if they have the push and money to get the Arabs selling them oil.The Germans would have plenty of oil from Azerbaijan.

Already settled with the South Tyrol Option Agreement.I would imagine at some point a NSDAP gvt would start raising questions about South Tyrol, and would try to ameliorate Italy by offering it concessions elsewhere. I see no reason why this couldn't work - and it's not as if Hitler was dogmatic on the question, as he changed his opinion several times
Exactly. This only changed because of Italy’s surrender IOTL. If Italy never surrenders and the Axis win the war then I doubt Hitler would change his mind since from my research there were no plans to annex parts of Italy in the event of a Nazi victory. They were genocidal fanatics and their system wasn’t the most orderly but for the most part Hitler and his inner circle had a clear, detailed vision of what they wanted to do with Europe and they discussed it constantly as fanatics often do.Already settled with the South Tyrol Option Agreement.
