In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. The recitation of the Imam is sufficient for you. You will not recite Surah Fatihah or any other surah behind the Imam in any of the rak'aats you pray behind him. As for whether or not to recite the Thanaa behind the Imam please refer to the table below:

As for the Ta'wwuz, and Tasmiyah, they will not be recited by the mudrik (one did not miss any rakaah behind the Imam) in either the silent or the loud prayers.
However, the masbooq (the latecomer who misses 1 or more rakaahs) will recite the Thanaa (if he did not already recite it at the time of joining the Salah) and Ta'wwuz in the 1st missed rakaah that he makes up. He will recite the Tasmiyah in every missed rakaah he makes up.
And Allāh knows best.
