As for the fixing the fluctuating temperature gauge, If I'm understanding correctly, the only way to fix this is to replace the thermostat

It is not correct to say that the thermostat is the only way to fix this. It depends what is broken. It could be the thermostat, a temperature sender problem, or an instrument cluster problem. The thermostat is just the most likely cause.
Air in the system would have been a more likely cause if the system had been opened recently, and air introduced (ie after a coolant change).
