Careful now, you just might get N+1 syndrome of the C&V variety. It should be a good project. Many of the KHS bikes are of higher quality than you'd initially expect.
Indeed. For the wheels, 700c will be essentially 4 mm smaller in radius, so that is the telling dimension.
I would clean the hoods with mineral spirits and note the condition after.
I would look around though for the brake hoods, I have that era o Dia-Compe levers and the body is taller, I am not sure they will fit.
