Answer 1

Short Answer--> No on all of them!

1.  Live update is the program that is part of youranti-viruss that helps it update so your computer stays safe.

2.  LiveReg, again is part of your anti-virus

3.  Only if you want to have to re-download all the XP updates.

4.  Only if you want to have issues with your video card.

5.  If remove this, you will not have a lot of the backgrounds, desktop themes, etc that came with your system.

6.  That is your Anti-virus Software--And a good one to boot.

7 and the rest:  Only if you don't want those items on your computer that is helping protect it and keep it up to date.

Answer 2

The only ones that I'd remove are #4 and #5.  If you want to improve performance, then I'd purchase  Registry Cleaner.  You can go online and see what's there, but any Registry Cleaner from www.snapfiles.com is reliable.  Good luck.
