I grabbed a rear drum (because I have a pile of them!) and weighed it and it is actually 50lbs. I must have weighed a front years ago and they have a bit less material in the center.
If you're going to run duals flip the hubs back around. I'm sure you'll be way over legal width otherwise and yes it looks goofy the 9.00's singled out. I guess decide what tire you want to run and flip the hubs accordingly. I've got a deuce with 46's with the hubs flipped out and another on...
You can do it but it is harder on the bearings, puts more stress on them. But I'm guessing if your not worried about width you probably aren't driving on the road much if at all.
The boots will keep the grease in but that looks more like a liquid=gear oil so yes you need to replace the oil seal in the housing. When the boots get cracked or torn you will usually see chunks of grease coming out.
