Just did my brakes this weekend as well. You can definitely do them yourself.
- Service mode is specific to rear brakes, so no need for fronts.
- Not sure of the context for the brake test, but it sounds unnecessary
- You will not need to bleed your brakes afterwards, so long as you don't remove a brake line, which you should not.
- No need for special BMW specific cleansing fluids are needed.

It's all pretty straight forward. You should have no problem. Do make sure to buy a pad spreader tool, as you'll need to compress the caliper piston to fit the now thicker pads and rotor.
