See Sifsei Chachamim.

3)

Why were the blood of the Eil ha'Milu'im and the oil placed specifically on these three locations?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah: The entire body of the Kohen Gadol was consecrated by the Begadim that covered it, with the exception of the face, the hands and the feet, which were uncovered - the latter two so that there should not be a Chatzitzah. Consequently, his face was consecrated by the two drops of oil that ran from his head down to his beard, 1 leaving only his ears, his hands and his feet to be consecrated by the blood of the Eil ha'Miyu'im and the oil.


1

As the Gemara describes in Horayos, 12a (Oznayim la'Torah).

4)

Having already been anointed - in Pasuk 7, why did Aharon need to be anointed again together with his sons?

1.

Oznayim la'Torah #1: Refer to 29:20:3:1.

2.

Oznayim la'Torah #2: This was necessary because, although he had been anointed in his capacity as Kohen Gadol, he needed to be anointed as a Kohen Hedyot in order to share with his sons the advantage of a Kohen Hedyot - that of permanence, seeing as, unlike a Kohen Hedyot, who can never lose his status as a Kohen, a Kohen , under certain circumstances, be deposed.
