All grease guns vary as to how much they put out per pump. On my full sized gun its almost exactly 1 gram per pump, so I put in 7 pumps each year. A mini gun would be less. The only way to know for sure is to pump some out and weigh it. I did 10 pumps on a postal scale to find out how much mine did per pump. Any marine grease should be fine, but put it in slow as to not damage the seals around the housing.
If this is the first time you've greased the intermediate housing yourself, I'd recommend that you remove the rubber hose to be sure it is full of grease. Many dealers do not know to grease the intermediate housing, and I've seen skis that have been serviced by a dealership for years that never had any grease applied to the intermediate housing. If the hose is empty, you will need to pump in lots more (on my gun its like 35 pumps) to fill the hose and get grease into the housing.
I don't know the answer to the rivet question, but I suspect a standard rivet gun would work.
