There's no way to inspect the IMS bearing short of pulling the bearing out, which you'll need the LN tools to do, and once you have the old one out, regardless of how it looked, I wouldn't even remotely consider putting the old one back in (assuming that the LN installation tool would even work to push in a factory bearing).
If you don't have access to the factory RMS tool, I'm not sure I'd try it without, as I'd think there's a good chance you wouldn't get it right and then it would leak, and then be super upset to have to go back in there a few weeks later.
As to the clutch, if your original flywheel is in good shape, re-use it. You should always replace clutch disc, pressure plate, pilot bearing, and release bearing when doing a clutch. The clutch slave is easy enough to do later if it fails, as it's outside the bell housing.
Always use new flywheel bolts, though you can re-use the clutch bolts I replace them, personally.
