"What's Tactical Analysis called in real life, what's the skill called?"

It's generally called planning.

"What's Psychological Intuition called in real life, what's the skill called?"

Discernment, acumen, or more generally insight.

"What are the ways in which someone can aquire Tactical Analysis?"

By increasing crystallized intelligence/memory and with logic puzzles or strategic plays (games like chess, go).

"Does it accompany Enhanced Intelligence as a specialization, the same as Enhanced Memory, or can a person with average or even below-average intelligence aquire it, or be born with it?"

A user of tactical analysis with experience in chess would probably be a grandmaster and your IQ seems to have to be above normal intelligence to achieved such a high position so yes, in my opinion it would accompany Enhanced Intelligence or Peak Human Intelligence as a specialization. Being a strategist usually involves creatively formulating plans at bullet time, implementing them without fail, and the like. Can a person with average or below-average intelligence acquire it? Well, in theory yes they probably could, and somebody probably has. In my experienced, I observed an individual with an IQ of 85 with the right practice and technique and about 10 years reach a 1100 USCF rating which is good. For comparison, I am a 1400 (don't know my IQ) and a grandmaster or any titled player for that matter would blow me away hosting a rating 1800+.

"How rare is Tactical Analysis in real life, how often does it appear in the population?"

It's not farfetched to say they make up 2% or 1 out of 50 of a given population with a 95% confidence interval at the most. I arrived at this arbitrary conclusion because of how rare such an ability is, and how many facets of disciplines that requires somebody with this capability. You have your chess titled players, military tactician, stockbrokers, entrepreneurs, general analyst, mathematician, scientist, and the like.

"If a scientist said you could obtain this ability by taking an injection or a pill, how much would you pay for it?"

Around $1,000 because I feel myself getting more impetuous and short-sighted.
