Tony goes with Omar to meet Sosa, Sosa in turn kills Omar and tells Tony that Omar was a police informant. Tony believes him then negotiates a deal without Frank's approval.

Tony returns to Miami, and an angry frank points out that Sosa may very well have been most likely lying. It end with Frank telling tony that the people who last in the drug business are the guys who fly low and straight, but the guys who don't last are the ones who want it all, and in gaudy ways. the latter pretty much the opposite of what tony did.

Did Sosa manipulate Tony, was Omar never an informant, and was Tony better off staying true to Frank?

Yep, no proof that he was an informant at all.

Sosa gets a phone call (his henchman holds up the phone, so the audience can clearly see this) before announcing Omar is an informant. This leads me to believe Omar was guilty, otherwise, why the phone call?

No way Sosa would have had him killed if he wasn't an informant

He was likely an informant.

Meanwhile Frank was right all along, Montana wanted it all and it cost him.

I read recently that some fans speculate that Sosa had Omar killed so he could do business with Tony. Seeing as the latter was more inclined to go all the way with him.
