you don't NEED substrate. They do like to root around in sand for food. Nice clean bare bottom is ok as well.

I would go with a small cory for that size tank. Either one of the dwarf species (habrosus being my favorite) or somethign small like Panda cories. I would put 4 pandas or 6-8 habrosus/pygmeaus.

You would need to be super diligent with water changes and vacs in a tank that size to keep it stable.

^agreed.

Pandas fit the size of the tank and should do fine with the warmer water for the bettas.
