Should any parts inside the engine compartment be painted with special paint because of the heat?? Does this also include the inside fender wells?

nothing except the block and manifold ["engine enamel"], if anything else under there gets that hot you better bail out wink the inner fenders and such are normally just a standard satin/semi-gloss black

So things like the thermostat housing and fan blade are also just regular paint?
