Not a mod, just speaking from experience.

Question 1: Are staff required to tell people to change their name(Either PM or in general chat) before kicking them?
From what I've seen, no.
Question 2: The previous impersonation rule said that it was against the rules to impersonate or have similar names to staff but there wasn't anything against other individuals
Having names that are alike to other online players does not fall under the impersonation rule but you will be kicked for having a name that could mess up gameplay things like koses. For example, lets say there are two bobs, Bobbay, and Bobby. If Bobby joins when Bobbay is online, they will be kicked for having names that are too alike and could cause confusion
Question 2a: If it is against the rules to have your name be similar to another individual, is it against the rules even if that individual is offline?
Now lets say Bobbay is staff and Bobby joins the server with Bobbay's pfp, they will be punished for impersonation of staff. And if Bobbay isn't staff it does not apply, and if Bobbay is banned Bobby could even change their name to Bobbay and as long as Bobbay stays banned Bobby will face no punishment.
