I believe you will be better served on the Fine Homebuilding forum.

Rafter ties are wood. I think you are confusing rafter ties with metal brackets used for other purposes.
You can find truss anchors at Lowe's. For your purpose every other truss should be good, assuming the walls are tied to the floor.
