Will the springs pop off dangerously during unassembly of this unit? (I believe a stupid question can save some pain if asked).

No danger should be easy enough. when rebuilding try to get the cross cable (not the correct term ) as straight as you can as the straighter the better the brakes.

You can get the cable straight by either fitting MTB blocks or even by longer bolts and a few washers or spacers between the brake blocks and the caliper.

It'll be fine, although some caution and eye protection is advisable. Good degrease, 0000 wire wool and Vitalsol and that'll come up like chrome.
