I've got one of those bikes with OEM rims (Araya plated-steel). I've used 27 x 1&1/4 and 27 x 1&1/8 tires. (Yes, it's more correct to use fractions). It's not quite the orphan-rims that the 'real' Schwinns had, like Varsity, Continental, etc.... These rims are more 'normal'.
If you're gonna replace brake pads, go for it. But if you're gonna replace the brakes themselves (why??) you might have a hard time finding brakes with enough reach. Your brake bridges are pretty high by today's standards. Even my good bike is a bit of a dinosaur, by today's standards.
