27,000 is a small bit early, not to any extreme though.
The pads are pretty easy to replace, if you can do a 210 chassis, you can manage this.
This is normal operation of the brake pad wear sensor, yes. There is no reset procedure like the BMW's, but yes, you only see the light come on when it's actually making contact with the rotor.
The ML brake pad kit from MB include removeable metal caps for the sliding area on the caliper bracket. The sensor comes as part of the left inner pad, so you don't need to worry about the sensor if you get the MB pads.
The ML's are especially prone to squeeling. I always use an MB approved anti-squeel grease called MolyKote. This is kind of a copper colored paste for use on the sliders and the brake backing plates.
I would be surprised if the rotors are worn out, I believe the min. service spec is 23.0 mm.
