One question tho, i can apply AA to areas outside of the actual hat? for example the edges outside of the hats border to help smoothen it. I was under the impression it would add unwanted white pixels ingame

Noooo don't do that. If you can tell by a lot of people's submissions/work in the game you can see that no one uses AA outside of the actual hat. I'm pretty sure the only time white pixels would be unintentionally added in game is if you forget to delete the background that comes with the template.

It obviously would have to fade from bright in the light source (front) to a darker side area to illustrate the curve

The way you shaded it makes it look like the light source is coming from the bottom lol
I think you should shade as if the light source is above your head, not only is it one of the easiest ways to shade imo, but I'm pretty sure a majority of graphics done in game uses a light source above the item itself.
