Here is a video on how to remove the rear seat on a 2006 CLS55. It will show you how to check for the fuel tank leak problem MB has offered an extended warranty for. It also show how I sound proofed the rear seat area. For a $100k vehicle MB did a poor job on sound proofing this area. These cars are awful when it comes to road noise and this is part of the problem.

Yes, that is correct. The fuel line is on the drivers side which is a bit misleading. I believe both sides have to be removed to replace the pump as they connect inside the tank.

No,only the fuel pump unit comes out you can remove without talking the filter unit out.
