Do these part numbers and approximate prices sound right for a rear brake overhaul? Also, does ATE sound like the right type for a 1980 wagon? Or do I have to just pull it out to find out which type it is?

The two caliper brands are interchangeable as long as you do both sides of an axle. Sane to go with the cheaper ones. ATE are substantially cheaper here.
If the calipers will not retract normally. Loosen the bleeder screws just to make sure it is a seized or sticking caliper. Not a problem with a fluid supply. It probably is the calipers though.
