What are the pods that form on my stellas after they have flowered? And do I leave them on the plant for re-bloom or do I pull them off?

They are the seed pods of a pollinated flower. Most of the time the seed will develop but they will be sterile--they won't grow or if they do grow the plant won't make flowers or at least not the same as the original plant. However, occasionally they do so you have nothing to lose by trying to plant some--except your time and effort.
Cautionary note: The more pods there are on the daylily the fewer flowers they will make. When the plant is sending energy to make seeds it doesn't have much left to make flowers. To keep your plant flowering breakogg the seed pods ASAP.

They are seed pods carefully take them off and store them in a cool dry dark place ( Back of a Cabinet ) make sure there is no moisture or they will mold. Try drying them in the sun for about a week before you store them. Then next season pull them out and plant them.

They are seeds/bulbs. You can pluck them off and keep them in the freezer and plant them next year?
