Here are my thoughts. Yes, those two bolts are head bolts. Those two hooks are to remove the entire engine, not just the head. I pulled my head by myself with no hoist, so it is possible but if I were you I'd use a bolt into a threaded hole (like a rocker arm bolt) with some chain.

deposits in the intake is probably coming from the PCV valve (you didn't say which cylinders they were leading to). Another possibility might be blowby.

Clean up the injectors, replace the PCV valve, and possibly fix the blowby (probably new rings) and you should be good to go.
