Yeah, men and women need both estrogen and testosterone for good health.
Etrogen: Men 40 pg/ml, Women 350 pg/ml (depending on stage of menstrual cycle)
Testoserone: Men 300 ng/dl, Women 15–70 ng/dl

Men tend to have larger muscles, heart and lungs than women of the same height giving them more physical power. Men's bones will be denser and longer giving them better leverages. Men's circulatory system will be more robust with thicker veins and arteries giving them better energy delivery.
To grossly simplify, this is caused by exposure to testosterone during development, with men receiving much more testosterone than women.

Yes. Every hormone in everyone varies. Natural hormone levels change over time (minutes, hours, days, months, years). The relative amounts do sit in particular ranges, and those ranges vary between men and women.
HRT I don't know much about, but I assume so. I believe one issue is that it lacks the variations of natural hormone secretion. But that's way out of my wheelhouse.
