Maybe I am wrong, but you say you want to know what "mindset" should you have, while asking for "What should I be doing".
I think those are separate:
Mindset is something like "I am going to end this game quickly" or "I am going to scout and decide based on the information I get" or "I want to get to the late game in a decent spot, no matter what my opponent does".
Sometimes the mindset can go against the map, making it less viable and decreasing your odds of winning.
"get another main and gate spam" is a very specific moment in the game. It is after 2nd expo, after first gate explosion and after first tech choice. Usually only when game is getting late game and the first terran push has been stopped, or if terran decided to wait till max 2/1.
Maybe I understand it wrong, but you are trying to get a general idea on what is the main focus in PvT, as in: what is the main thing I should always pay attention to, no matter the moment in the game.
The simple answer is: Tank count. Terrans live and die by their Tank count in TvP.
Yes, vultures can straight with the game, yes marine pushes vs 12 nex can get you killed, etc. But the core of the game is the tank.
If terran has a lot of tanks: expect to be attacked (you will learn how much is a lot at which point eventually).
If terran has a lot of tanks : you want more zealots.
If terran has few tanks you want more goons and storm (to burn thru the vultures faster).
If terran lost all his tanks, secure bases with cannons and explode in macro.
If terran has very good upgrades YOU NEED something to shut down the tanks, or they will get too much value. (arb storm).
If terran has NO TANKS (he went full goliath vs carriers for example) goons win the game.
This is .... the most basic and fast list I can come up with. There are a lot more things to consider. How long tanks build, where his gas went if it is not in tanks, should you build shuttles or not, when to give up a base because you cannot match his tank count in a fight... etc etc etc.
