I want to put this face on a sphere in a way where it can be animated, I know the topology needs to be clean for animation, do I need to retopo the whole sphere around the face, or is there a better way to go about that? Im also not sure the edge flow is correct.

The edge flow seems correct, now you could rotate your sphere 90° on X so that the pole is under your face. Once you've applied the Shrinkwrap, extrude all the outline of the mesh, make it circular, cut a hole in the sphere, join the face with the sphere.

Apply the Shrinkwrap, join with the sphere, cut a hole in the sphere, bridge the 2 meshes:
Here is what it should give:
