Depending on how much you need, and what type you put in, you can add in both fall and spring. I would say granular is better in the fall, so it doesn't leach away as fast, and powdered would be better in spring.

Does it not take a long while for the biology to really affect changes, but doing it over the years consistently starts to catch up....Like turning a battleship, you start the turn 30 minutes before you need to change directions.?

My Lowes carries it for $6.89 per 50lbs. Agg supply also carries it for about the same.

Gypsum does not change pH.

Petman is right, it does not change pH because the sulfur content is intended to offset the pH change.
