Subdomain would be "@" or all. You are entering this TXT record at the
domain level (just like you do for your MX records); however I am unsure of
the syntax of that portal - such questions might be best addressed to
support@zonedit.com?
Yes, the record type is TXT, 3600 is acceptable for a TTL (or set as
default of other records).
If you are entering a SPF (sender policy framework) record to make your
mail more deliverable, it would be entered into the Text Field:
"v=spf1 ptr:gmail.com -all"
Any server whose hostname ends in gmail.com is designated.
For a full list of all allowable characters:
http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax
Note, I believe the "-all" is deprecated in favor of ~all, but most DNS
allow either.
Here's the test tools for SPF:

That is not going to matter here, I don't think; provided you actually are
entering a SPF entry, which will work for your entire domain on any mail
message.

If this is not successful, I would suggest you ask here (although they are
not going to be as qualified as we are):
