I'm sure the arguments against water cooling the NB were around the extra performance you'd get from it, which would probably be next to nil. However, having any electronic component run hot isn't necessary, and the general rule of cooling it by 10 deg C to double the life still applies (roughly). I'd cool the NB, no question about it.

You'd do well with any heatercore, where the only work involved includes trimming back the existing pipes (a simple hack saw job). BIX are pretty and fit nicer.

Pumps in series, one loop.

Yep, can't go wrong with a TDX. There are many, many acceptable choices to.

Drop pumps in parallel, you're wasting pressure.
