630 volt capacitors will be fine, no problem, the voltage rating is the maximum voltage they are designed to reliably operate at, not the voltage they have to operate at.

C17 on the Trader sheet is 0.02 so use a 0.022uF.

Non of the capacitors you have mentioned in post #6 are polarized ie; there's no + or - connection.
