Never went to a to shop I plan on doing a Katzkin kit. It's not hard. You could even buy the foam ($50 a piece) plus the covers (found them on eBay for $250 a set). Some hog rings and hog ring pliers and you are good to go.

I would replace the foam anyhow because it stays compressed and they is what causing the seat cover to rip. Lol up videos on it (people have done 2nd gens) is not hard at all. They may be charging you too create a new cover. You can even put in heated and cooled seats if you'd like

Those batteries are usually really good. They are made for running a lot of accessories. I believe they are AGM batteries. I would say it's overkill if you aren't running a lot of accessories.

You got something drawing power. Common things are glovr box light or ash tray light. Could be just a weak battery also

Personally that's up to you and whether you would install it and where but yes it would. Me I would track down the problem first. You have something that is staying on causing the battery to drain overnight. Now if your battery is old, they also could be it. If you want to text something pull the I.O.D fuse from the fuse panel on the inside of the truck see if it still does it (this is where must problems come from). Just know you'll have to put it in before you start the truck
