That set looks great for starting out. 2 different hooks, a half diamond and a couple of rakes... wide assortment of wrenches too. I actually wouldn't mind that myself as a carry set; take good care of them and it should be all you need for 80-90% of stuff.
The masters should be easy peasy, I doubt they'll have security pins of any kind and since they only have 3 pins they should be a doddle. The keyway will probably be very small though so that could be an issue. As for the yale, that'll most likely have spool pins. The type they use are very narrow so they give a wicked deep false set, you'll have fun with that one for sure!
As for the lever padlock, providing you can tension the bolt by pulling on the shackle then you could probably do it but I wouldn't recommend using those picks as the leaf springs are pretty strong and you'll put a lot of pressure on them. It's simple enough to bend and file some steel wire to suit your needs, so I wouldn't risk ruining them. If pulling on the shackle doesn't tension the bolt you'll need to use a seperate wire; you can tension the bolt through the keyway itself or with some locks you can even stick a length of steel between the body and shackle to tension it that way.
