If the pipes look good, don't fix what ain't broke.

PVC is a cheaper alternative to metal for new construction or repairs, it's not necessarily better.

If it hasn't been submerged or run much, the pump itself probably has life left in it. Still, pumps are cheap and a critical item so it makes sense to replace.

Absolutely replace the check valve. Rubber seals deteriorate over time whether they're used or not.
