What is the average lifespan of these trees?

can average in 40-50yr range

How many trees would be needed for a 300' stretch. For moderate privacy

You can plant as close as 3' apart, that would be 100, but can be done at different spacings, from 3' to 10' apart for privacy. The closer the spacing, the faster it will fill in and be the more desired density.

Would the willows grow in Mid Michigan with sandy soil?

Mid Michigan is fine, if sandy soil is in a dry area, then watering and mulching in the first year would be important for establishment.

Dumb question but I would imagine there would be a massive amount of leaves to pickup in the fall

No more than other trees, small leaves, seem to disappear pretty fast.
