they are cleanable.. they usually come standard with a paper filter element inside..
worth checking as when used in pressure side as you are they can get damaged and sometimes restrict flow.. they do an optional metal element but it doesnt filter as finely.

no just keep an eye on it and perhaps replace with metal optional element..
you need to filter both low and high really whcih you are as the intake has the filter sock on it still I assume.
I believe if you look at the filter its the blue that unscrews from the red.

Depends what pump/s you are using but in general the pre pump filter should be less fine than the post pump filter. In your set up you will probably still be using the intank sock so as you appear to have done you need a fine post pump filter to protect your injectors. The sytec paper element is 8 microns which should be ok post pump. I have used a better Fuelab filter which is 10 microns which is not as fine as the 8 micron sytec paper filter.
