Opening nasty F# chord.... only one way to really do that... Index finger on F# right ?
There are two F# - do you mean string 1 F#? If so, I have always done it with 2nd finger (first finger on string 6 F#, fingers 3 and 4 are clear). Didn't even occur to me that others are doing the reverse for the two F#, which does seem easier if no capo, but then it gets more complicated for the slurs next. But with capo at 3 the way I do it is easy too.

Next up the slide or ligado down to F is it:
A) Ligado
B) Slide
Slur (ligado) - pull-off then hammer-on. Because my 2nd finger is already on the string 1 F#, for me it is simply LH 2-1-2 for that. To do the same but in the reverse configuration, it is possible to put the 2nd finger in place while the first finger is pressing on the 2nd fret that high F# without disturbing it (what happens outside the vibrating string length stays outside [:D]). It just seems a bit more complicated to me but it's doable and then you do fingering as above for the slurs.
Oh , I see why you want to do a slide back and forth - because your 1st finger is on the F# there. But it does not sound to me on the recording like a back-and-forth single finger slide, sounds more defined.

Then there G chord with the F# in the top. Is the G bass note played with:
A) The middle finger
B) Or ring finger
3rd finger (ring)

Then we get an F# played on the D string is it played with
A) The pinky
B) The ring finger
4th finger (pinky). The rest are finger 1 on C# on B string, hammer-on with 2nd finger and back for that C#-D-C# etc passage. This 4th finger on D string 4th fret is also an anchor to transition back to the original F# chord that's next - it stays where it is (measures 4-5).
Another anchor situation occurs later on (visible below, last two measures) with the 2nd finger on C# on B string - it slides silently one fret over to D on the same string, and the shape in that last measure 8 is completed by placing 1st finger on B on A string, and 3rd on F# on D string (I guess that could be 4th finger instead but I had my 4th on G string on Bb just before that, so I used 3rd finger here).
That 2nd finger continues being an anchor for the next chord shape - A7 - by now silently sliding back to C# on B string, and 1st goes on B on A string at the beginning of measure 9 (not shown).
Here I took a picture of the first two bars form my book with the notes I've made:
This is just what I do; I'd be curious to know what more experienced players would advise you.
