You won't need a spring compressor if you change the entire assembly.

And you won't need any bushings.

You won't need new bushings. Thats absolute rubbish.

Just grab a junk yard/parts car strut assembly and change it. Its much safer then the one on the car currently.

You'll need to un clip the brake line off the strut, undo the two bolts near your rusted portion (they go through the steering knuckle) then the four bolts ontop of the strut tower. Thats it.
