1 & 2 - Sorry Jim, no special tips on installing lines

3 - I've frequently heard advice to use what is called methylated
spirits in the UK, denatured alcohol in the US, to flush the lines of
old fluid, then clear using compressed air, then fill with DOT5.  It
shouldn't cause any real problems if there are small traces of the old
fluid, it would (apparently) be illegal to sell DOT5 as a brake fluid if
there was a risk of reaction with other brake fluids.
