Lol why do you need to know this? Don't mean to poke fun but what a silly question. Takes 2 seconds to remove the nuts and you'll be able to see what you need to do within a minute of install.

Yes. The bolt on the swaybar endlink that attaches to your lower suspension is also the bolt that goes through the bottom mount of the shock. They're the same bolt. And generally, you want to remove the other side (swaybar side) of the endlink first, it makes it easier to get the long side in and out of the bottom shock mount.

What he said ^^^

If not doing the camber arms, you actually can get away without disconnecting it, just have to push down really hard or even step on the arm to lower it enough to free the strut, but really there's no reason not to, its right there. Make sure you coat all your nuts/bolts the night prior with WD40 or penetration oil.
