Is it safe to replace both drives in a mirror if both of them are dying?

There's a SMART attribute for remapped sectors.

Ok great. So the offline sectors that FreeNAS is reporting are only those where I currently have some data?

Yes, the Relocated Sector Count should have gone up. If it didn't, then the drive may have decided the sector was okay after rewriting it.

There is very limited relation between where ZFS has data and the stats that show up in SMART. They do not have to match.

Ok, this makes more sense now. Do we have some docs that explain how ZFS deals with damaged sectors? Even a technical read would be interesting.
