In a company change such as director removal, does the person being removed need an e-signature?

No. A director who is being removed and who does not need to sign any documents during the change process does not require an e-signature, since they will not be signing anything now or in the future. Only signatories who must actually sign documents need an active e-signature.

Do foreign documents submitted to a Spanish notary for a corporate matter need legalisation?

Yes. Spanish notaries (Notarios) generally do not treat foreign corporate documents as Spanish 'public documents', so they require a Hague apostille (legalisation) before the documents can be used in a Spanish corporate procedure — this applies even to documents issued in another EU/EEA country.
