1-3 - give the shop the problem, not the solution. A good shop will find the solution. If you walk in with a bag of parts and a list of instructions, at best you will solve the problem at a higher cost than necessary, at worst, it will be something else. Excluding the transmission clunk going into gear, which is pretty clear.
7) Front struts should be OK for a whole lot more than 80K. The rears do seem to go a lot more quickly than the fronts.
8) Ride height can only be fixed by a combination of new springs, a trailer hitch, and the determination to carry overloads in a trailer, not in the back of the wagon. Alternatively, install the Nivomat self leveling rear suspension. But measure first and see how much sag you actually have.
