1.) Yes, depending on the salvage yard's policy, you can pull parts yourself, or possibly have them pulled for you.

2.) I suggest both the brake and clutch pedal. I don't know if you were already going to pull the brake pedal out, but it can be uncomfortable with an over sized brake pedal. Also will need the hose going from the master to the slave. And you will definitely need a drive shaft. Auto and 5spd drive shafts are different lengths.
You will need a clutch kit too, Pressure plate, clutch disk and bearings, unless you use the ones from the donor car as well. ( I recommend inspecting them to check if they need replacement. Don't want to take off the transmission for something you could have done earlier...)

*AM NOT SURE*, but i think the auto trans uses the same end piece as the TII. I dont know if getting an N/A tranny may give you other issues. Possibly the 5spd flywheel too*AM NOT SURE*

3.) I suggest you take wrenches and sockets ranging form 10mm to 21mm, a ratchet, some screw divers and extensions for the ratchet. (you will need some pretty long extensions to get to the trans bolts) You WILL NOT need all of these tools, but if you're already pulling parts off a car. You might as well take off anything else you need/want.
