"From a parts breakdown it seems to show a seal, gasket and O-rings for the three housing bolts. Is that correct?"

Yes.

"Do you just pull the bolts and replace the seal, gasket and O rings?"

Yes.

"Any chance the front shaft will fall out in the process?"

No, but still be careful anyway.

"While I'm at it how hard is it to change the front bearing. It seems quiet. Just leave it be?"

Technically, you can change it without disassembling the gearbox, but it would be super difficult. Much easier to change when you have the gearbox apart. My opinion is if it is quiet and you have no reason to think it's bad, leave it.

I have never had a problem installing the bell housing first and then the gearbox to the bell housing. Of course this is referring to a M4, M40, M41. Actually, I don't think I've ever done it any other way.
