From the pictures it looks like the piping is pretty old. I would check the rusted piping for any gas leaks. The field inspector should inform you of that and any other issues.

I'm asking because typically we see 11/2" or 2" piping connected to the pool hester unless the heater is a low rated heater. Do you know input rating of your heater? If the piping that supplies the pool heater and BBQ is undersized, when you add the firepit all thee appliances will not operate efficiently.
