Indicating that your caliper guide pins are not free.  Check boots and
regrease them.  If you check pads when you change summer to winter wheels
you can reverse the pads, inside to outside, to maximumize their useful
life.

Not necessary, unless you have a torn boot.

Likely so, unless the lever shaft seal has been leaking for too long.

Long time, meaning what?  You don't get the message?
