So is TTL the flash "equivalence" of OTF? And what happens with
a, say T32, at speeds higher than 1/60?

Henrik,
No, you do not need the F280. It only offers you the Super FP mode (flash
speeds above 1/60). All Through The Lens (TTL) features of the T-20 and T-32
are yours to use with the 4T as with any 4, 3 or 2 model (with proper shoe).
The T32 offers a tilting flash head for bounce, or macro use. It also has
both the flash shoe and TTL cord capability. With the 4 models (and 2S?) you
can use both the shoe and the off camera TTL cords to fire one or  more
flashes.  I can't speak for the T18. The T 20 only works on a shoe mount. To
get it off the camera you need a bounce grip 2 or the off camera
attachment/cord for the T20.

Hope this helps.

 I'm a total newbee on the flash-front; please bear with me.
 For my OM-4T, _must_  I get a F280, or can I do with a cheaper
 T20 or even T18? What does TTL actually stand for?
 I need a flash to help when light is not around, and I would like
 to try some "artistic" night photography (notice the humble quotes;-))
 I know I sound like a first-grader, but as I said I never really used a
 real flash.
