I personaly think that for best result you have to do it in Photoshop or Gimp. Try to do something like gravel or asphalt and you'll see it is imposible to do it other way. You can use any script technique like mirroring or so but result will not look nice.

I don't know what software do you have but as far as I know hardest part is to make good quality texture seamless.

Some of them are seamless - at the moment 370 of them.If you press one of the buttons on top of the page it will show you only tiled or all of them.

I would say that most of the time you need UV map anyway

Yes you can.You can use them for whatever you need as far as you will not redistribute or resale bare pictures. Good reference is always appreciated.

Thank you ! We are working to make them even better.
