That is not in the NTSB update. It says he tried the tiller once it was clear the airplane was leaving the runway, seems reasonable to me.
Is aileron into the wind proper in the 737? Or does is pop the spoilers on the upwind wing like the Airbus?
Yes you will have some roll spoiler deflection if the control wheel is rolled more than 10 degrees. You don't need to add much for a crosswind takeoff, but at 27kts of crosswind you better have some aileron in there. Drag from the roll spoiler is negligible.
