He shall break down the house: again, the third person singular pronoun is impersonal and indefinite. It does not refer to the priest. The expression is translated as a passive in New Jerusalem Bible, New American Bible, New Jerusalem Bible, New International Version, New English Bible. In those languages without passives an impersonal “they” may be the best rendering.

He shall carry …: or “it must be carried…,” or “they must carry….” As above, the subject is impersonal.

An unclean place: see verse 40. Compare also “a clean place” in 6.11.
