Fuel line is cheap, and cleaning carbs is a PITA.  Replace them if it increases your peace-of-mind, but probably not strictly necessary if cleaned.  Has the source of the rust been eliminated?

I agree. Few bucks for lines prior to inline filters. If filters look ok, I wouldn't worry about them.

Good luck.
