Regarding the use of old seeker heads for IR scopes None of these are imaging devices so regardless of anything else they are useless for imaging. Also they generaly do not respond to the cooler wavelengths and would not show people etc... only jet engines. In short they are highly specialized devices and far more crude than you'd imagine. Don't buy one unless it's really cheap ($2).
