Throwout bearing. Transmission needs to be removed.

yep, sounds like a throwout bearing. It will need to be replaced and that means dropping the tranny. Not too terribly tough to do if you got the tools. You can also take it to a tranny shop and have it changed.

Hard to say. If you drive every day in heavy traffic it may not make it. I had a 71 Camaro that didn't make it 2 weeks after the noise started. I would change it ASAP though.
