So I have a toedscool with a Tera type of dark. It also knows foul play. If that toedscool terastallizes, will foul play be boosted by it? Furthermore, if it doesn’t, is it boosted if the opponent is Tera dark since it uses their attack stat? I just want to know how that works. Thank you!

STAB boosts damage, not stats. So foul play's STAB still depends on the user's type.

Yes
To be clear Foul Play doesn't do the damage the opponent would have done. It takes the opponent's attack stat but does the other checks (STAB, abilities) etc. from the user's end. In simple words Foul Play takes the stat but keeps the rest the same.
