2) If the drums are seized and don't turn then there are broken parts inside and the brake shoes are being forced against the drum causing it to seize.
You can get a drum puller and force it off, you can borrow one from O'reillys.

I'll also throw one more thing out. Make sure there aren't any of those retainer clip thingy's hiding on the studs.
