If the harness doesn't have a relay, the white would remain illuminated (as the side marker doesn't flash)...you might want to make sure that the amber is bright enough to be visible over the white.
This is correct.

The unit in the picture with the wires coming out is a switchback controller, so it will shut off the DRL when the turn signal is activated.

Black to ground, red to parking light, yellow to turn signal.
No additional controller is necessary.
