Remove the strap and use an inspection mirror to see the values of each section. Don't know if this is a single section or multiple section from the photo. You will see the value of each section followed by the voltage, such as XX mfd YYY volts. Using those values you can order a replacement.

Not sure. There are several pins all going to wires except for one mounted directly to the chassis. Probably ground.

There should be symbols next to the value markings that will correspond to markings near the terminals to tell you which is which.

I couldn't get in there any better with the camera and I couldn't figure out how to remove that strap.

It's been a long time since I've done one of those but IIRC you can use some sort of tool to push down on the part of the strap you can see coming through the back of the chassis. It should then line up with the opening below and slide through releasing it.
