Guitar pickups typically put out about 1VAC tops (with apologies for such a generalisation) so you'll have plenty of headroom.
Can I swap the stomp switch on my pedal build for the latching switch pictured?

Unfortunately, finding a 3PDT toggle with a 1/2" bushing so it fits the hole in the casing is difficult and going to be expensive - but if you don't mind fitting a couple of washers to make the hole smaller, mini-toggle 3PDTs are common.

They have a particular switching pattern though, so you'll need to draw up the wiring you check it'll work. The middle position will be odd.
I bought a mono 'switched' jack socket but I don't need it be switched. If I plus a TS cable in it will the switch part matter? Or will I need to put a jumper from the hot terminal to the switch terminal?
Also with the switch how do I tell which are ground terminals? It's going to be for a killswitch so I just want to send signal to ground.

Multimeter to tell how the switch operates, unless it has NC and NO on the terminals (normally closed and normally open respectively).
