How do these compare to the tsukineko sponge daubers? Is the material similar?

I have both and like both. The sponge material is similar, although perhaps the tsukineko dauber foam is a bit finer. The blending tool sponges seem a bit more durable -- I have on occasion used the daubers until the sponge began to break up. Both are great for stencils and small ink jobs.

how do you wash off alcohol inks from pads for a long use/reuse life?

These tools aren't meant to be washed. It works best if you use a pad for each color you use. A 20 pack of replacement pads are only about $5 so it really cheap, but there are some really good liquid stamp cleaners that may do the job, they do great on stamps, but I haven't tried it yet.
