all the tools you need will be those used to take out the strut+ spring clamp

Of course you'll need spring compresses unless you are Mr muscle man 
And yes the entire strut needs to come out of the car and onto the floor

most coilovers you dont need compressors if you wind them down 1st, i have never used a 206 coilover that has need them yet. or anyother make i have done yet.
yes take it out all the way so you can make sure the bearings in right when putting back together,
