Yes it is Normal. Just like K1, K3 III has an active LCD overlay in the OVF and it turns darker without power.
It require very little power, just like a LCD on a old LCD watch that can be powered by a tiny battery cell for years.

Yes, you can, both solenoids are fine.
If you are carefull and don't lose parts you can even use the green China solenoid in your *ist-DS in the flash-circuit.
But not in the aperture-block!
The *ist DS is a historical camera, worth to keep working.
The green solenoid was tested for about 6 years in the flash-circuit of the K100D, K110D, K100D Super, K-m, K-x and K-r. Never failed there.
Just don't sell your DS without the notion that the flash solenoid was replaced!

Typical sign, it will soon get worse.
Best idea to do it now and then have peace of mind.

No need to clean it unless obviously dirty. No grease! Just use it as it is
and make sure you don't lose that tiny plastic black rod (right side behind that hook which holds the popup flash down.
This rod is very important! When you unsolder the solenoid, keep the top upside down, otherwise this rod will fall out!
