Two questions; first, would this drive work in a Powermac G4 1.25 dual? (Western Digital Caviar WD1200JB (WD1200BB Special Edition) 120GB EIDE ATA/100 7200RPM Hard Drive w/8MB Buffer ) and second, are they easy to install?

It should work fine and they're very easy to install.

Yes and yes, it'll work just fine and the transfer is pretty simple.

Do you like to put your computer to sleep? I can point you to a thread here, 3 at Apple's discussions and a bunch of reader reports from xlr8yourmac where this drive won't sleep properly. It clicks (sounds like it's spinning down and then spinning up again.) I have one myself and I'm quite frustrated. It's a fast, not too loud drive, but I used to sleep my iMac every night. Just letting you know...

I replaced the drive that came in my dual 1.25/FW800 with the western digital and now my mac doesn't make that awful grinding sound.
