I am learning / researching to consider DIY vs PNP on my next big build.

Do the standpipes connecting to the bulkheads inside a internal overflow box need to be glued down in place?

I know you glue a pvc pipe connection to the bulkhead on the sump side (to a union as well). But what about inside the overflow box?
 
Inside the overflow, no. It's actually advisable to never glue the inside plumbing into the bulkheads:)
 
You got it, if you do glue the drains into the sump I would install unions just above so you can remove the plumbing easily.
