I think you need a pump; cast iron is not affected by the heat and cool (the clanging) cycle associated with gravity heat, but the new one might be, especially if it is copper tubing. Didn't they quit making those furnaces like decades ago?

Can you just replace the housing around a forced hot water baseboard heating unit or do you have to replace the pipe as well?
Yes you can, but the support brackets that cradle the fin tube usually are also the point of attachment for the front cover. If the new cover is not compatible with the old bracket, you would have to fabricate a method to reattach the fronts. I think an all new baseboard assembly is the best way to go in most circumstances.
