3- what is the replacement part(s) here? Is this FCAB (i.e replace with monoballs)?

1- I'm going to second others and say that I'm not convinced that the EBCs will solve your problem. Hawk Blues are famous as rotor cleaners (and paint destroyers) for a reason. One of the difficult parts about this is that you want to keep the brakes COLD when you do this.
2 - You said the pedal has gone to the floor. That's "long pedal." Or when the pedal just goes down further than expected. Although if it's from just the one time, probably not the bearings. (Note, if you haven't bled your brakes, you should do that after boiling them.)
3 - The thrust arm is commonly "upgraded" to monoball, although there's an NVH penalty. The lower control arm link (the little arm) just has to be replaced if it's bad.
4 - Buying an expensive set of brake pads to maybe or maybe not fix a bad set of not *that* expensive rotors probably doesn't make much sense. If you've been unable to make this go away after a few hundred miles, it's probably not going to.
