The transmission issue should be repaired ASAP to keep from damaging the transmission. If the problem is only the sensor on the transmission it is around $100.00 depending on where you get it.
Changing it yourself isn't really hard, basically remove one bolt, gently twist and pull the old one out. Apply a bit of trans fluid or petroleum jelly to the o-ring on the new one and push it into place. You will also need a dab of thread sealant for the bolt. Reconnect the connector and see if the code goes away.
The sensor is located under the battery tray so removing it is needed as well. For that you disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive. Remove the hold down brace nut and bolt. Then the heat shield, then the battery. Next remove the bolt and nut that secure the tray and you should be able to lift it enough to get to the sensor. Reverse the process to put it back together.
Part number for the TSS sensor is Ford 6E5Z-7M101-A
The intake manifold issue is a bit more forgiving. It can cause the loss of power you have and should be dealt with as soon as you can. Price wise it depends on exactly what is wrong. That is why using a scan tool to control it and determine what the failure actually is should be done first. Around me that diagnostic charge usually equals 1 hour of labor. Some shops give you a break if you also have them do the repairs.
