#1 yes, yes, no. Use a pin punch of the appropriate size. Try not to lose the pin. No grease.

#2 Not sure. Someone else knows this.

#3 Just pull back enough to get the clearance you need.

I believe the shift rod is just pushed into a bushing there and will pry out pretty easily...you might be able to pull the column back enough to get the clearance you need but it was easier for me to pull the whole column right out of the car. Your that far already and then it's completely out of the way.
