2.) Where to buy the subway pass?
There are two subway operators in Tokyo. Moreover, some other surface transportation, such as JR, could be more convenient. There are many pass types and they are updated rather frequently. Check yourself whether such a pass could satisfy your needs. I believe that the best bid is a PASMO or SUICA card.

Tsukiji is changing radically. The fish market will relocate before you arrive.

The new Toyosu market, Toyosu Shijo, will open on Nov 7 in 2016. The last operational day of the Tsukiji market would be Nov 2.

Tsukiji could be divided into Tsukiji inner market and Tsukiji outer market. The handover from Tsukiji to Toyosu means the closure of the inner market only. The outer market, Tsukiji Jogai, a destination for a general tourist, will be remained as is.
The early morning tuna auction observation, that is held in the Tsukiji inner market now, will be continued at Toyosu. The details of this Toyosu aution does not seem to be opened to the public yet, except that will be done in the Block 7 of Toyosu, in the south-west to the Shijomae station U14 on the Yurikamome Line.

Toyosu plan to have Senkyaku-Banrai Shisetsu, similar facilities to Tsukiji Jogai. They will be built in the Blocks 6 and 5 of Toyosu, in the north-west and south-east to the U14 station. The opening of the Block 6 facility has been delayed to Aug 2018.
