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

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.

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

Re: Tailgate band installation

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