Just did this job on my ‘98, all 4 corners. I don’t think you can tell visually if the strut mount is worn. The most likely wear out item is the shock itself. However, your bump stop looks pretty bad and I would take that as an indicator of the condition of the other parts. (My bump stops had disintegrated). The components are not too expensive and I would just replace them all. You don’t get in there that often so just do it while you are there. I replaced my original shocks with B4s and reused the original springs because I like the ride for my street use and was worried the B6s would be too harsh. So far I’m happy.
As for the rears, removing the 8 hex screws holding the axle to the transmission was way easier than removing the axle nut. Also way easier to retorque.
Unless you see loss of material on spring due to rust, I would say OK to reuse
