Is the ebrake part of the caliper? IE: you need to rotate+push in the piston?

or can it be pushed in with a c-clamp? (integrated rear disc/ebrake drum)

i think it is much like the Blazers with a drum inside the rotor and there is a shoe for a parking brake

Definitely drum inside the rotor. If you are doing rotors as well you should probably go ahead and get the park brake shoes. They like to fall apart when you beat off the rotor. They have an adjuster like drum brakes so you should probably back them off a little first.
