I am going to suggest that you DO NOT interchange parts that control your safety in a vehicle. Calipers are not that expensive. Just get the ones you need.
F1 brake calipers are made of aluminium.Here is quotation from the Technical rules:11.2 Brake calipers:11.2.1 All brake calipers must be made from aluminium materials with a modulus of elasticity no greater than 80Gpa.
NO! Brake Calipers are what compress your Brake Pads on to the rotor which turn simeultaniously with your wheels.
Brake calipers are the hydraulic devices that wrap around the rotors and pinch the brake pads into the rotors when you stop.
Brake calipers are what house the brake pads and fit over the rotor. If you are working on the brakes, usually the calipers need to be taken off in order to work.

Lift the vehicle on a car jack, remove the tire, remove the brake shoe/calipers, and remove the old brake pads. Put in the new brake pads, replace the brake shoe/calipers, replace the calipers, and lower the car.
You can buy a kit to rebuild the calipers. It is simpler and easier to buy rebuilt calipers.
Brake calipers are what squeeze the brake pads against the brake rotor.
No need to rotate the front caliper pistons as you compress the front calipers. That process is only for the rear calipers because of the parking brake mechanism.
Yes.
You have to drain the system via the bleed screws on the calipers. Then, after refilling the system with fresh fluid, you need to bleed the system to remove any air.
