We can't tell you exactly how to use the stripping scripts, but see
Wiki: Visual Kindle Guide. Read the parts about the command prompt, KindlePID (covers installing python) and KindleFIX. These take you through what is required to run a python script that modifies an ebook. This wiki page can exist because KindleFIX does not remove DRM. Don't worry about the Kindle part and the fact that you don't need KindleFIX. The steps are essentially the same (different argument lists) for mobidedrm and ereader2html.

Yes. The primary issue is a legal one. If such a GUI were posted to the Internet it might expose the author (and the distributor) to prosecution in the US and other places. I'm not sure that it is 100% clear that the GUI is illegal if the script is doing the DRM stripping, but the author should seek legal advise before making it available. One work around might be a generic GUI front end, which would work with any similar python script, but then the ease of use might be significantly reduced.
