You can just set the images' display size with CSS.

Second is the background of the headers, you will see it is in black. Do I have to leave this out as well or should I save those headers as images and do the same? I have the same problem with the footer on each page

Headers and footers will not work, as there are no "pages" in ePub. (Actually, they could work, but I know of no reader that supports them.)

I gave the client an option, creating the Epub as pdf pages but the text is so small and the only good thing is the pdf retains the original styling. I would think the client will go for the styled epub version so I gotta be ready.

Create the PDF with a 9×12cm page size and appropriate font size. There's nothing that can be done in ePub that cannot in PDF, except changing fonts and layout on the fly.

One last thing I notice, looking at the Sigil generated Epub in iPad there are some fonts that DO NOT display from the styled Sigil but in an ADE reader they do. I should inform the client of this as he wants pubs for Apple, Kindle and Nook.

I guess you mean iBooks (an application), and not iPad (there are many applications for the iPad that can display ePub, I doubt all them have the same problems). It seems iBooks is quite particular with what it does to perfectly valid ePub files, and I believe embedded fonts are one of the things it may have problems with. Do a search, as I'm sure this problem has been talked about previously.
