If it were me I'd go head and replace them while your at it. If your gonna tear it down might as well get it all done while your under it. and if the lowers need to be replaced the top probably will soon, especially with the added wear of a level.

To replace the upper ball joints, is it necessary to buy the control arm as well or not?

Yes, you have to buy the whole arm for the upper.
