I've removed live primers with no problem. Still, the eye protection is a good idea.....you just never know.
A removed primer is usually no longer good for anything, just spay them down with oil and toss them. Why take the chance of a hang fire or dud for 3 cents?
The case is usually just fine. Just inspect it like you would any clean case before reloading.
If you are not sure what powder you loaded, toss the powder too. If you are sure what it is, put the powder back in the can.
We've all had those "ooops" moments when we started to reload and then remembered that the powder hopper was full of pistol powder and not rifle powder. It's really bad when you mix the powders and have to toss the whole batch!
FYI - I often weigh my reloads. I have a range of weight that I expect. If the round is too heavy or too light, I'll pull the bullet and redo that round.
