Personally,... I would just buy new stainless screws from a local hardware store or Fastenal store.

Yes.
The holes in the band will be your template.

You could use double sided tape. But the band would not fit tight and look like crap.

The holes are small and easily filled later if that's what you want to do. Be sure to use a bit that's smaller than the non-threaded part of the screw you're using and you'll be fine.
