I'm not sure how the Buschur can installs, but the PCV valve screws in. I'd replace the PCV valve with a straight through fitting that matches the same threads as the PCV valve. You shouldn't have to pry on anything.

If you get the Buschur can, yet as a replacement fitting is included.

Great to have a catch can in. Keeps the oil local.

No, it's not really needed. It's more used to keep the oil out of the intake tract and turbo inlet.

And just as important, to relieve crankcase pressure.
