All good questions, actually.
1) Yes and kind of. Whatever method makes the fewest lumps and bumps.
2) Yes, then re-attach the seat. It might be a little difficult to get all the bolts threaded again.
3) NO and YES!! The bags must NOT touch the pipes....but there doesn't need to be too much clearance either. About an inch will do. Position for this before clamping the seat down on the yoke. You may have to re-string the yoke to make it shorter and pull both bags up some. They may move over time so re-check the clearance regularly.
4) Yes but don't get carried away. You only need one attachment to keep them from "flapping" around.
P.S. How about putting your location in your profile ??
