RTV 103......good to go.
Depends on how you buy it and how thick you apply. If you buy a cartridge (typically a little more then 10 ounces) and don’t lay it down real thick, that one cartridge should be enough. Worst case is that you will need two cartridges. Now ff you buy it in a tube….I have no idea because of the unknown quantity in a tube (maybe 3 to 4 ounces per tube).
Never used a roller (or brush) to paint the back of a tank....always spray paint. Thursday is supposed to be in th 60's....that's warm enough.
And you don’t have to go crazy-nuts buying the most expensive paint. Here is what I used back in 2008 and it’s holding up just fine…..$0.97/can at HD.
If it isn't leaking only the inner seal needs to be removed. If it is leaking you want to remove it all even between the panes. Silicone will not stick well at all the old silicone.

I would suggest removing the old because the old won’t look good with the new, and as mentioned, silicone doesn’t stick the greatest to old silicone. I would make sure the glass is squeaky clean of old silicone….use a single edge razor to scrap off all the old stuff.
And John, RTV products are a silicone rubber compound that cures at room temperature….RTV stands for “room temperature vulcanized.” Live long and prosper!
