Told / said

Hello,

Question 1: Which of the following sentences are correct?

1. You told me that Sarah is your friend.

2. You told me that Sarah was your friend. (My question here is, should I use this sentence with "was" because she said that saying in the past?)

3. You told that Sarah is your friend.

4. You said that Sarah is your friend,

5. You said to me that Sarah is your friend.

6. You said me that Sarah is your friend.

Question 2: Is the word "that" necessary in all sentences above?

Thanks.
