1) Front and rear shocks differ in valving and length. Usually rear shocks have a shorted body.
2) Some kits do, but most just ask that you trim your oem bumpstop. You can buy new ones at the parts store.
3) The flathead screwdriver thingy is likey what you use to adjust them. Lefty softy righty stiffy.

Re: To all Suspension gurus (phan222001)
They're adjustable so the driver can set them to his driving standards.
If there were universal perfect damping settings, we wouldn't have adjustable shocks.
Most people drive with it stiffer in the rear though.
KYB agx's usually are 4 way in the front and 5 way in the rear.
I don't know much more about them, but I would assume that the rear just has more precise damping adjustments. So theoretically 4 in the front is similar to 8 in the rear.
Check out the suspension forum. There's shock dyno's and plenty of info about these popular shocks.
