oil pump and water pump should be fine but it wouldnt hurt to replace the water pump just because the engine is out. Once you put oil back in the engine and hand turn it that will start lubricating the bearings, turning it with the starter a few more times should finish the job. As far as valve stem seals, honda has pretty good ones and its pretty labor intensive and expensive to change them unless you have all the tools and experience at your disposal.

Small amount, i would say no more than a table spoon. BUT if you do happen to put a little too much in, no worries, when you turn the engine with the starter it will blow the excess right out of the spark plug hole. Just make sure before you do this that you have ALL brand new fluids in the engine.
I use a mix of GM SyncromeshFM(FM=Friction Modified) and regular syncromesh that you can buy at any autoparts store. 2qts FM and 1qt Regular for transmission fluid. I also like to use full synthetic oil(mobile one, royal purple or castrol) because it doesnt break down as fast as conventional oil. As far as oil filters i either go with WIX or OEM honda. Everyone has their own thing when it comes to that though.

The valve stem seals get old because the heat dries them hard and get brittle, I don't think just sitting for 7 years would damage them any further than the day that engine stopped running.

Before firing the engine for the first time:
Unplug the injectors and ignition coils. Then crank the engine over with the starter until you see the oil pressure (idiot) light go off. The reconnect everything and fire it up!
