Its very easy to not put them in right, I done my rear crank seal about 3 times before I got it right 
As long as its a good quality seal, it will be fine, GM ones would only be earling (I Believe anyway).

Depends 
Socket if you can find one the right size, or use a square punch then do it 12, 6, 3, 9 or however.
As long as it goes in square and goes in flush, Should be fine.
