JRB Utils has a password setting tool. So that much would work for you. I
believe it does UP, but you could check with John to be sure. Or just
test it with one or two users to find out.
ICE may be another option for you. It'll take CSV files. But it's trivial
to turn your CSV file in to an LDIF file to be imported via any standard
LDAP tool. The results will be the same either way.

Sure. With eDirectory 8.8.x you should be able to update the passwords
via LDAP. The attribute 'userPassword' will set whichever passwords are
configured to be used properly. Test with one user first and when
confirmed go ahead and do them all. An example LDIF (not CSV, but better
imo) follows:
dn: cn=usernameHere,ou=context,o=goes,dc=here
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: newValueHere
The only concern with the bit above is that you will be doing this
administratively and by default if you have a password expiration interval
set within your Universal Password (UP) policy then an administrative
password change will cause the password to immediately be expired. That's
fine as long as your user population knows they should immediately change
their password (and they probably should both know that and do it since
admins should never know users' passwords as a general rule) but can be
overridden with an option in the UP policy itself as well (so the password
does not expire).
Good luck.
