I just got a new Fitbit and I think I have it figured out for the most part. My one question - when I go to the gym and exercise on the Elliptical or Treadmill will it automatically sync with my calories burned or do I still need to enter the workout in MFP?

Do not log step-based activity. So definitely not the treadmill, and probably not the elliptical. It will take trial & error to find what works for you.
Log non-step exercise either in Fitbit or in MFP—never both. I find Fitbit's burns to be way more accurate.
