Making an Autonomous Water Rover using Navio2 ,3DR telemetry and Internet

I am trying to incorporate autonomous behavior in an existing project using navio2 and a 3DR 4333MHz telemetry module. The project is a Water Boat made on RPi 3. I would first explain the progress of my project and the places where I am clueless due to my lack of experience with Ardupilot / ROS / Navio2 and need help

Actuators for motion : We have three dc pumps two for forward motion and one for reverse motion. By providing PWM output to a mosfet driver I am traversing the rover forward left right backward (either by hardcoding wall avoidance at present and web remote)

Web Interface : I am using an arduino pro mini as a sensor hub with ph, temp, conductivity and turbidity and two distance sesnors. It is connected to the rpi using usb. This sensor data and camera feed from rpi are streamed on a website hosted flask on the rpi. A remote like ui on the website is enabling me to control the rover as of now.

Now I have a Navio2 board with the image etched into it and also mission planner installed on my Windows 10 laptop. Also I have a 3DR telemetry 433MHz from mRo. I need to keep the web interface alive for the sensor data and incorporate waypoint navigation using mission planner. I have the following doubts :-

1. What are the steps that i need to get autonomous behaviour along with rempte control with Navio2 on Rpi 3b±-> Mission Planner --> 3DR telemetry kit 433MHz
2. Can ADC sensors be interfaced with nacio2 and rpi along with other sensors interfaced on my rpi and their data relayed to ground station using 3DR and then uploaded on a local website?
3. Can live streaming of video from rpi cam/ usb cam from rpi be relayed using 3DR and then sent to the same website?
   4)Is some special configuration needed to get to configure mission planner /navio2 for my customized rover i.e. pwm out only and no direction control. If yes where do I need to do it?

If I am missing anything else do let me know. This is my first time trying to use ardupilot and I need to get a hang of this as soon as possible. I want to get the autonomous behaviour sorted as soon as possible due to deadlines of some National Level Project Competitions. Also it was very difficult to get this hardware so I absolutely want to make the most of it. Thanking you

Have read docs on the website but they are not helping me figure what exactly I need to do to solve my problems even if i get a an idea of how I should proceed I could refer the docs and tackle one issue at a time.
