1. I honestly don't know. I added power windows and lock in my van so I don't know how the factory ones come out.
2. If you're going to try prying, I would use a putty knife since they're thin and flexible.
3. Most definitely during the take everything apart phase. Once it's all apart and you know nothing is going to touch metal to short out, you can reconnect the battery for troubleshooting the circuits.
4. Yes I would test the switches first, just in case I've steered you wrong. I'd hate to see you buy something that you don't need. Drying it out would be a good first step.
5. By remote unit, do you mean an aftermarket keyless entry system? If so, disconnect the main plug to it and see if the door lock problem goes away and you'll have your answer.
