Supply chain is one of the most important factors in deciding how the military does things. The choice was as follows: 1. The aircraft has no critical engines so if it loses one (likely from being shot in which case he's probably screwed anyway) the pilot doesn't have as much to worry about. 2. One engine type, one set of parts, TOTAL interchangeability. If you have one set of parts left, if the left or right engine breaks, you can fix it. The clear choice is #2.

They do. I dont know the specifics, but i imagine they try to keep the avionics as original as possible, but some things have to be updated to maintain airworthiness. Probably the radios transponder are on that list. But i also think it depends. I think most of the warbirds are on a special license that dont have *as* strict of requirements, but with the understanding that those planes can only be flown for the purpose of airshows (and support thereof) and not a "weekend/family flyer" like others would be.

If the aircraft had a sudden failure producing a violent turn, the pilot may bump her head and loose consciousness. That loss erases any chance of flight recovery. A helmet might prevent the loss of consciousness and the survival of the pilot. Or not. Whatever. It's your plane and your life.
