Those look to be the inner tail light seals.  DMT repops them you can see them here (probably can buy direct as well)

picture 2 & 3:
Cowl weatherstrip.

If it's OEM, try to re use it. The repro's are wavy once installed and look hideous.

Picture 5 & 6:

Door window outer weatherstrip. Put your trim on where the door glass meets. That's were the glass touches.

Use a light spray of 3M spray adhesive on the foamy gaskets.
3M black adhesive out of the tube for rubber weatherstrips.

5 & 6. Yes

Best to get new one's unless they're in good shape.
