1] Am I correct in presuming it pulls out like any tube?

3] What does the lower reservoir [see pik] with black w gray tube feed?

Hi Bob - Quick answers.
1. Yes, it pulls out. After all these years the tube and grommet may be rather firmly attached. It may not be possible to separate them without damage. You can test the vacuum reservoirs from the switchover valve over by the brake master cylinder. My '93 had a leak in the vacuum line near the battery.
2. The tubing runs in front of the heater box, underneath the wiper mechanism. Access isn't too difficult.
3. Shoot, I used to know this, but I'm drawing a blank. I believe it's for the remainder of the vacuum operated stuff on the car, which in this case means the rear headrest retraction. For some reason there are separate vacuum reservoirs for the climate system and everything else.
