A couple of images whilst both aircraft still airborne post impact are being shared now.

Great escape for all involved.

How does the perspective compare to real life ( eg, dash cams distort the perspective with their wide lenses - does the MSFS do similar or does it feel right?

It might not have had TCAS II but would definitely have had TCAS I... That is mandated for all aircraft with more than 10 seats but less than 31, at which point TCAS II is mandatory....
...unless of course, that particular Metroliner has only ever been used for freight.....

I had it one or two times,i forgot and ATC reminded me.

Not quite. TCAS Resolution Advisories (RAs) are ordinarily disabled on retractable types when the gear is extended and/or when below 1000 feet IIRC. This eliminates nuisance RAs under such circumstances, but doesn't suppress TCAS entirely.
