Slightly tricky brooch of Shielding question (was easy)

It's best to try and think of NPCs as poeple, not just a collection of numbers. The numbers are are great starting pooint to ensure encounters are reasonably balanced.

Absolutely! Until it comes time to loot their still-warm corpses. Then, they're just a pile of numbers, most with "gp" stuck on the end.

As a side point, they still count as 1st level. Heighten is the only metamagic that actually changes the spell level. So a minor globe of invulnerably will happily stop an empowered, maximized, fell drain magic missile since it's still a 1st level spell. Though this is more important for spells with saves since saves are level dependant.

So, a pearl of power, 1st, redoes the spell, right?
Nope, it used a 6th (?) level slot, so it needs a 6th level pearl.

But it is still a 1st level spell. Just using a 6th level spell slot to cast due to metamagic.
