How long should the meta description be?

Under 160 characters. Treat it like ad copy: invite the click, mention a specific benefit, include a soft call to action.

Do I need Open Graph and Twitter tags?

Yes — they control how your page looks when shared on social media. Without them you get a generic, unappealing preview.

Where do these tags go?

In the section of your HTML. Most CMSes have an SEO panel for each page that handles this.
