I removed the BB and found some rust there. Same in the Headtube.
How do you suggest removing it? Is spraying some rust converter enough?

I’d not even bother with ‘converter’ for that. A quick rub if you’re really bothered then any ‘inhibitor’ will be fine. Don’t overdo it inside the seat tube though, as you can end up with a slipping post.
Dont over think it too much. Just give it a clean with whatever you’ve got even soap and water. You only really need to grease the threads when you reassemble.
Blue wd40 with steel wool and a coat of grease. The rust is from the old BB and the threads are fine
Steel wool, metal brush or similar + water and soap, no need to waste WD40 unnecessarily.
I mean just use your head, it’s not rocket science. Clean it without damaging the threads too much.
