In my game,the NGF has all of mainland Denmark and has sphered Bavaria, Baden, and Wuttemburg. But the German Empire has not formed. Does NGF have to take Alsace-Lorraine for it to happen?

Yes, Alsace-Lorraine is a German core and as such is needed for a country to form Germany.
You need Alsace-Lorraine only if they have a North German majority.
Well, given that NGF now has a grand total of 5 brigades, it's doubtful that he'll be taking AL any time soon.

To form NGF, you're correct - and since Metz province doesn't start the game with a North German majority, you never need A-L to form the NGF.
To form Germany by decision (rather than by a crown from the gutter), you have to own every single core province of the German Empire. Even the ones whose provincial culture has become completely French / Polish / Danish / whatever.
Nothing scares infantry like tanks that can see them. Nothing scares tank crews like infantry they can't see.
