No
use the same pads front and rear. You could get uneven braking otherwise

Very low dust
I have an 04S, so I believe theses should work on your 01S

When I bought mine, they had a price error and the rear pads were only $11.00, it was a pricing mistake
As far as the rotors, measure their thickness, you may not need to replace them. My original rotors were fine, in th emiddle of spec with 65k miles
