What Mike said. However, just remember that they had the fire there not to long ago too. I haven't hiked to the pools in a while so I'm not sure how it looks now 😬
Depends on the amount of rain but I've never seen it so low that you couldn't jump in
I haven't hiked in a couple of months, but the water levels should be ok. If it's low you will be able to see the previous water line on the rock. Be careful jumping in from high spots if you see a large difference from the previous water line. It's very rare, but have been there when someone had to be airlifted out.
