Unfortunately I cannot answer any of your questions, but I have been given the following advice for when I need to do mine:
Cut it long and squeeze it into place: If you don't it will shrink over time and leave gaps at both ends.
When you put the glue on the seal don't worry about it getting on the carpet: a little light machine oil on a rag will lift it off quite easily.
I have also been told to buy 2 lots of seals so that it can be put on during mock-up before painting, but as you are a little beyoind this point it doesn't really matter!

On the Bugeye the seals get tucked up under the corner of the dash and again tucked behind the dog leg interior panel sort of right near the top bow bracket.
If your seals have aluminum clips, just glue them on now to save aggravation next week when they fall off.
Mine were aluminum from AH Spares, they don't work.

Here's some good photos from another Forum. There are some good photos. Jack is right about the aluminum binding not holding. The last woven seals I bought from Moss worked well. https://www.spritespot.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2537
