1. Yes, you need to extend as Skilled Worker dependent.
2. Select less than 3 years, but when you go to pay the IHS surcharge, you must select and pay for 3 years for each dependent. Maybe best if you apply for their extension before this Tory government pushes through increased visa fees during this autumn. Currently, health surcharge is £1872 per applicant for 3 years, but sometime this autumn, it will go up to £3000+. If you already have ILR, then they can apply for their 3 year extension now itself.
3. You will need to provide your Unique Application Number (UAN) from your ILR application. It will be there as the reference number in the email you received from Home Office Atlas saying that your ILR has been approved.
