I believe they will be using the two service tunnels each side of the main
road tunnels.

Sorry, yes, it does say that in the article :-(

Are those the tunnels that are currently used by taxis, and have a
"loading gauge" hanging over the entrance?

AFAIK yes those are they. I believe they were originally pedestrian tunnels
when built. There have been various suggestions of what they could be used
for over the years.

Or are the service tunnels in addition to those? The area between the
airport end of the tunnels and T1 is currently somewhat full of roads and
car parks, it will be interesting to see how they weave this pod-track
through it all and up to the terminal building (currently the frontage is
occupied by the car drop-off zone).

I wonder if they are going to try to move the drop-off point out of the
central area? Would certainly help reduce the amount of traffic there.
