De-rusting exhaust/headers and fixing holes

I got a free exhaust (twice pipes) that's covered in surface rust, and a header that's also covered in rust, with a small hole near the flange.

 

I'd like to clean at least the headers and coat them with something, but i'm afraid that they will get too thin if i sand them. Is it safe to use a wire brush?

 

Also, what can I use to fix the header? I've seen header repair tape (can't do it on that hole) or "putty." Do these work, or should I get it welded over it?

 

Sorry for the lack of details/pictures, and thanks in advance
