the colour of the 7 souls determine how much determination each human had, in a rainbow. Red being a large amount of determination, while purple is low. And due to this determines how far each human got on their journey, as shown by the dropped armour/weapons. The human who had the ribbon and knife dropped in the ruins could have been the purple soul, the one with the tough glove and bandanna was blue. This also fits with how each boss (excluding Muffet) has you change colour, from blue to green to yellow. You're going up in the determination rainbow as you proceed.

To beat Mettaton, you need to get the ratings to 10k (12k if you're fast before his limbs blow off.)
The fastest, but more risky way, is to get yourself down to 1HP, then Pose the whole battle for 600 points each pose. This means you can't get hit though. The rating must reach 12k, and Mettaton will be fully intact at the end.
The usual way a new player would beat him would be to survive and just keep acting. The Boast action will increase points so long as you DON'T get hit by his attacks. The Pose command gives more points the less HP you have. Buying the food in the MTT resort increases points when eaten. On the essay question, typing Legs is the best answer, giving 350 points. You'll only need to get the ratings to 10k using this method though.
If you still have the stick or another piece of armour, use it! The stick will give 700 points and changing armour will give 1,500, but you can only use these items once.

If there was a way in an abandoned genocide run to spare NEO, I'd do it every run. I hated the time where I had to kill him ;-; I would wait for like, 2 minutes, watching his sprite and listening to the music, spamming the spare button before finally "right, gotta do this now" kicked in.

Pacifist, genocide, soulless pacifist, soulless genocide, and, of course for my favourite character, King Mettaton ending :^)
