I am replacing my sump with a Bashsea SS-36. I’m worried about the 2 hoses that plumb into the 2 holes in the sump. Once I remove them from the old sump, how do I prevent the tank water from flying out of those 2 hoses? Should I turn the valves off and shut down the return pump?

Those look to be drain hoses. Once you shut off the return and let it drain completely there should be no flow from either of those hoses.
