As an old house lover (and fellow old house owner), I'm begging you to please restore those windows! It can be done!
I'm making this response extra long and detailed since this question comes up from time to time. Hopefully it can be a resource for others.
But I say this as a guy who bought a real wreck of a house where the previous owner had let everything go. We needed to fix all 45 openings at once as part of a major rehab, and after 6 weeks of effort, about $3000 of experimentation (including taking a week off work and hiring two people to help me), I finally gave up and put in vinyl windows. It completely broke my heart, and my house is uglier because of it. But sometimes, an old window is just too far gone to save. But in that process I learned a lot and I'd like to share a few things.
OK, on to your questions.
General resources and tools I found useful:
Unless I miss my mark, it's a paint scraper with rounded profiles and point to get into recessed areas.
What's the box for? If that's the inside of the bottom, and it wont be seen, then I wouldnt even worry about it.
I cover the inside of a lot of my small boxes with an insert covered in fabric.
The easiest way to clean up squeeze out, is to do it before the glue hardens.
Either do it as soon as it appears with a damp rag, or let it set up a bit and scrape it out with a sharp chisel or a scraper. I find a paint roller scraper tool works great for this.
In your case, it's going to be a PITA. I'd use a triangle style molding scraper. Here's an example. triangle scraper.
Best I can tell ya is to keep your skins really cold before scraping them and try using a duller knife. Do one or two thighs at a time. I've seen guys use paint scrapers such as this or this before with decent results.
