If I want to swap a shifter, do I need to cut the pin out of the hose or is it just a new brake olive?
You can swap without cutting, unless it's internally routed. I'd normally dremel the olive out, or cut the whole thing if I have enough hose.
I found a nearly new shifter to replace the one that probably leaks so want to swap over. Sounds like if I can get the olive off I’m golden then?
