Find My Friends location sharing after switching to a new iPhone

That's not what I'm experiencing. As long as you use the same Apple Account, the people you follow in Find My will move over. You will be able to see their location, and they can see yours. So it is NOT necessary to invite them to share location again.

For me, it was a mix of some transferred over and some didn't. Those who didn't, we just sent invitations again and that was that.

I changed my phone. Does “Find My” function on friends devices still work?

I transferred from iPhone to iPhone and Apple ID is the same; Should I automatically see my devices and in “People” those friends who have shared their location with me ever?

No, location sharing depends on the hardware ID of the devices. When you change hardware you need to set up sharing again.

So would you suggest sharing from the same account or creating a new Apple account?

Do NOT create a new Apple Account. You'll be creating all sorts of issues you'll regret if you do.
