The front rotors on your car are 280mm (11inch), so do not get the larger rotors. I am not sure where in Canada you live, but I heard that if you have it shipped parcel post it is cheaper than UPS or Fedex.
If you also change the rear rotor, I would suggest getting a spring and retaining clips for both drum brakes. Lubricate every rusty piece of gear in the rear brake hub. Also try shooting some WD40 back into the brake cable (my next project). Make sure you slacken the cable inside the center console before you try to get the rotors off.
ABS sensor normally does not need to be cleaned, just be aware where the wires are so that you do not pull or push on them.
Bleeding the brakes is not necessary to change pads or rotors, but if you want to do the flush, it helps if you have a pressure tank filled with new brake fluid.
BTW, I use a 6" C clamp to push the piston down after I clean the slide and grease up the rubber seal.
I had a time getting the front caliper off because of the large lip on the rotor, the forward edge did not get any wear. A large screw driver between the pad and rotor as a prybar helped push the caliper back just enough to make it easy.
Have fun and if you get stuck, someone on this board will help. Just be very specific when you state any problems.
