Its best to replace the water pump for the reason that if it seizes chances are it will snap the timing belt. I wish I had known before doing my swap

Yes do it now while the engine is out, you will save money and not have to worry about it not working or leaking.

Yes do it now, if not you will get charged twice the labor to do it when it goes out and the motor is in.
