1.) After the crank pulley nut is removed, is a puller required to remove the pulley?

I've removed plenty of crankshaft pulleys, but i have never seen a crank pulley that came off without using a puller! I guess it is possible but a puller costs only a few bucks at harbor freight even if you orer it online. personally i would not dream of trying to remove a pulley without a puller tool, its possible to get the pulley off but very tough to do without mangling it into scrap.
And only 125k is not a lot of miles so unless they are leaking, you could go either way on changing the seals. However, the seals themselves are relatively cheap, so if you can get at them easily i'd go ahead and change them like you are thinking.
