It's all relative. My 100 is better than my 80 was for the things you're talking about, but still by no means flies up hills etc. easily. When purchasing a 100 many opt for the 03+ for the 5 speed and wider gear range. Each improves on the...
Just search for hose clamp pliers and look for ones that have the cable attachment. There's nothing magical about using them, it's like regular pliers, but the end is "remote" and cable operated so it can reach into tight spaces.

Should have bought the c-clip kit from Cruiser Outfitters, all of them in one bag, easy. That's not a hose, it's a plastic T, you'll want to replace it and be careful about not getting plastic down the hose. There's two, there's another right...
Easy way to tell, pull the driveshaft, lock the center, go for a drive, see if your noise is still there. For me, unless the tubing was damaged/dented, I would just re-do joints.
