A quick shot of brake cleaner should do the trick.

no need to clean them, it's natural. may cause a squeak the first time you brake but the pads will rub it right off.

as others have said, its normal. It will come off as soon as you hit the brakes a few times.

does it eventually eat the disc away, or is this just surface rust?

It's just surface rust. I've seen caliper rust on brand new cars that have never been driven at the dealership. It will go away once you start driving again.
