The tinsel wire is so fragile, general-purpose stranded wire may
do fine. Or, use some RG-174 coax.

Also, where can I get the plugs for headphones? (I assume one just solders
the leads to them before using something like shrink-wrap).

Hopefully, on Staten Island, you should be able to find a Radio Shack or
similar store.

The Red Green Black is stereo. Get wires from cheap headphones at
Goodwill. The stuff braided with cloth is called "gimp". Use a solder
pot (dip) or a Zippo (burn off the cotton).
Black is common, Red is right. Confirm with AA battery and a clip lead.
EBay is a weaqlth of information.
