Personally id change it just for the sake of a few quid, compare that to taking the box off should it wear out before the clutch does.

Mine was worn so it got replaced the same time as the clutch, id assume it helps the flywheel spin smoother, though i could be mistaken.

Spigot bearing or 'pilot bearing'.

as above an personally if the box is out then change it would be a shame to do what your doing then have to remove in 2 months time just for a couple of pound bearing
