* Is it possible to use the Teton Order Routing Service for simulated trading while receiving real-time futures data?

Yes, you can be connected to the Teton Order Routing Service and do simulated trading within Sierra Chart. If you are using the built-in Simulation Mode, then it does not matter what service you are connected to.

* Do I need to fund an IronBeam live account to access real-time market data, or can I simply pay the $6 non-professional CME data fee directly through Sierra Chart?

If you are wanting real-time data for the CME Group from our Denali Exchange Data Feed, then you need to have a live, funded, futures trading account. And you need to connect your Sierra Chart software to that trading account at least once a month for verification. Refer to the following:
Denali Exchange Data Feed: Understanding and Accessing Data From the CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX Exchanges

Therefore, you do need to have a funded account with Ironbeam or some brokerage for which Sierra Chart has connectivity for the CME Group data.

* Would a deposit of approximately $100 into the IronBeam account be sufficient to cover any fees and enable the data feed, assuming funding is required?

You need to check with Ironbeam, or any broker/clearing firm for their specific requirements.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
