U2504 and U2519 are PMOS shift registers, they form the display memory.
U2513 is a character generator. DS0025 generates the two-phase clock for
the PMOS devices.

Yes. You could use a '367.

No. The video circuitry is completely independent and uses a

Yes.

No. The two proms on the CPU board contain the Monitor, the proms on the
cassette board contain a cassette driver routine.
