No need to replace the passenger side if its still in good condition. Only brakes should be replaced at the same time, some may say the same for rotors but I only change rotors as they go bad, as in your case if one bad caliper causes damage to the rotor, i would only replace that one rotor

You do not need the second caliper at this time. How did you diagnose the LR caliper being frozen?

happened to me, same caliper to. Inside pad was worn completly down and outside one looked almost new. The rubber boot or garmet that is on the end of the sliding pin was cracked in half, which allowed dirt and such to get in there and that made my caliper not function correctly. Not sure if this is related to you situation or not, just a little input though.
