You have a one piece crank, commonly called an Ashtabula crank. No need for anything but a big crescent wrench or a large rock.

Yep. Just remove the five bolts that hold the chainguard and large chainring to the little chainring and you'll be fine. Clean off the rust and polish them up- they make great wind chimes.
