Answer 1

Is there a Restore feature on the Installation DVD?
Yes, but you don't need to do that. There must have been an update to Disk Utility between the initial release of Leopard and 10.5.2. Which means you need to apply the update through Pacifist in order for it to work correctly. But that needs to be done a particular way itself. Follow these steps.
1) Delete your non functioning copy of Disk Utility from the hard drive.
2) Use Pacifist to install Disk Utility from the original Leopard disk. Don't just drag it out of the Pacifist window, use the Install button at the upper left.
3) Close the window for the original Leopard disk without closing Pacifist.
4) Drag and drop the 10.5.2 Combo updater package onto Pacifist. Extract the package file from the combo .dmg download first if necessary.
5) Locate Disk Utility and and click the Install button in Pacifist.
6) Here's the important part. Pacifist will inform you that Disk Utility already exists and gives you a few choices what to do. Make sure to choose "Update". That will install only the updated components between the original disks and the updater.
That should do it.
