They will provide a good basis. However I ALWAYS recommend asking your teacher what books may be of better benefit, as they will have studied to degree level and can recommend books that aren't too complex but are appropriate too!
I also suggest reading around topics further by looking up the areas online (and simply just reading) after each lesson or during revision, just to push your knowledge a little bit further. For sociology I recommend Giddons or Fulcher/Scott for some basic degree level (will be great for A-Level) reading.

As the books are endorsed by the exam board, it will contain the information needed for the exams.So it would be useful for your subject, even if the spec has changed.

They are all for the current spec. and, as such, should contain all you need to get a decent grade.

No idea. All I can tell you is that they were written for the current spec.

(I can keep this up indefinitely if you want but it does seem rather pointless).
