If the rotor needs replacing,
I'd say you are going to have to replace the pads too.
Pads are replaced in sets (right and left sides).
It's going to be a judgment call on the "good" rotor, if it looks super good, I myself would use it. If it's showing some wear have it "turned" to freshen it up or replace it (usually time, money, or convenience will dictate which way to go).
As far as the bad caliper goes, manufacturer should not matter, these items are made specifically for your car as long as you give the correct information.
I have sometimes found that there could be "specifics" to a certain car that sometimes get's you the wrong part.
I always, always, always keep my old (core) part until the new one is working fine. This keeps your "special part" from disappearing with the core monster until you are positive it is right!
Let's also insure that it is not the rubber brake hose being defective (check valving) and being the cause of your caliper seizing up. The bad hose lets fluid in but not back out as it should.
Here's guides that may aid you. See the brake section in our guides.
