Forward lean will recruit some shoulder and pec into the movement.

Putting your feet up doesn't quite cut the weight in half, it definitely reduces it though. How much weight you're actually using depends on how close the weight is placed with respect to your hand. If your torso is upright/slightly inclined and the weights are resting upright against your stomach you will get the most weight shifting to your triceps.

I don't think I would do them to failure. I would leave a rep or two in the tank at the end of the set.
