Yes.. the brake pipe can be routed around the front of the fuel tank.I did this on mine, there is even unused threaded holes, that can be used to fix a bracket to support the pipe. The mot tester commented that it's now in a better place, as the pipe is now in clear sight for inspection purposes.
As for the seat problem.... i'm wondering if it's the SEAT BELT webbing that is being referred to ? as it's attached to the seat, but can be replaced separately ! As mentioned.. volvo seats are very well made & rarely fail ?
