I have a question. In order to derive benefits of some of these slokas, does one have to chant the sloka itself or do the meditation as described in the actual sloka? For example, in this 18th sloka, it describes meditation on the red form of Lalita, and the redness saturating the skies/universe/earth, etc. And meditation on this crimson hue, gains benefits. So, for example, if one wanted to gain benefits of this particular sloka, does one have to chant the actual sloka, or do the meditation on her red form as Shankara actually describes? Or both? Thank you

You may find it in the Vana Durga Kalpa and associated tantra documents related to Durgā devi. The mantra reference will still be associated with Mahākāla Saṃhitā, but the other Ṛṣī, Chandas, Nyāsā could be from another source. Most of the mantras are scattered across several tantras and compilations from tantras, attributed to various sources and lineages.

Good afternoon, you say that the source of this mantra is - Māhākāla Saṁhita. I found this mantra in Māhākāla Saṁhita on page 180 You can check it out here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rtnW9KtK7vCvf-Q0ogCtHn0z94piRfpS/view?usp=sharing There really is a mantra - Vana Durga Navakshari and Dhyanam, but there is no Rishi, no Chandah, no Devata, no Bija, no Shakti, no Viniyogah at all. Where did you get the full Viniyogah and other Nyasa?

If someone decides to read instead bija mantra Hrīṁ -> Hlrīṁ, then is it necessary to make an appropriate replacement in the Pratyangira mantra (Hrīṁ -> Hlrīṁ)? What will this kavacham look like then?

The Divine Mother Śrī Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī Pratyaṅgirā is the extremely aggressive and ferocious (tamo) form of the Supreme Empress Śrī Lalita Mahā Tripurasundari. She is the Divine Mother of abundance, protection and counterattack. She has the combined powers of Lord Paramaśiva, Lord Mahāviṣṇu and Divine Mother Adiparaśakti, therefore, considered the highest form of Ugra Devata.
