for those who already bought the Kodiak and/or Phoenix Hawk can we still get the 25 redeems?

That's the idea.

cool so the 25 redeems for each pre-order will it count to the total max of 150 redeems?

100 possible for Quick Play, 50 for faction warfare, 25 for Kodiak, 25 for Phoenix Hawk brings you to a possible 200 grabs if you have both mechs and run 150 qualifying matches. That's a massive amount of match grinding, though. 50 CW matches alone? Good luck.

Ya. It took some serious determination to get the 22 matches it took for me to get my 2 million c-bills from CW last week. Not sure I can manage to get 50 in while also running 100 quick play matches

If the goal is to maximize the number of grabs you get, you'd be wasting your time doing CW matches at all. In the time it takes you to queue for, and then finish a single CW match, you could have finished 3-4 Quick Play matches. If the system awarded you grabs based on one point for every mech that earns 100 points in a (CW) match, then things would favor CW. But alas... it does not.

My plan on reading the event is to do what I did with Pot O' Gold. I ran all the quick plays before CW. Then I took an extra 15-30 minutes before my first CW match hanging out in FRR hub to make sure I was running with a group that would communicate given the OP nature of teamwork.
