I never use a nail gun with mdf. I prefer the control/strength of predrilling and screws. Looks good so far.

I drilled pilot holes in my box and held fine. Caulk will work good from what I've heard, but they say it's kinda hard to clean off.

anything else that would work well as a seal?

It's inevitable in car audio that you will uninstall your gear. Be it amps, subs, or whatever. The only thing concrete built should be your box itself. Caulking or using any kind of adhesive for the sub to box is not advisable IMO. The flexible gaskets will do the job.
