The 220p cap on Q2 would help filter out some hiss so I would probably leave that in or at least adjust to taste.  The BC550C gain is much higher than the stated 2N2924 so stick with the 2N3904 as its closer.  And yes the 1M is a pulldown resistor on the input.

The layout matches the schematic so you're reading all this right.  The topology is basic fuzz face.  I'd look at some of those schematics and have a play.  Simple, low parts count and infinitely tweakable.  Love this circuit.
