Welcome! Nice looking XJ!

If you're on 31" tires you most likely have a 3" lift. There is more than enough information here for you to build it to your hearts desire. Have fun and enjoy!

Just keep up on the maintenance and the 4.0 will last a few hundred thousand miles. I would upgrade your cooling system first, you don't want a cracked head as the '00 '01 are prone to

I'd say that's a stock paintjob... you're not missing any decals or anything like that.. check areas that maaco wouldn't usually bother painting... door jambs, under hood, wheel wells, under carpet... but yeah, I'm 99% sure it's stock, or at least a repaint of the stock color. Looks great though!

My $.02 on the cost: it really depends on where you're located. That looks like a limited model, so here in California with that kind of mileage it would probably sell for $6000-$7000. That said, nice Cherokees are VERY hard to find here and the general cost of living is much higher, so people can ask absurd prices.
