My post was not about a buzz noise, but about mileage.

I want to drain the power steering fluid and re-fill with Mobil 1 ATF. Am I able to do this at the PS pump? If so, at what place on the pump?

Suck it out of the reservoir, or disconnect where the reservoir hose connects to the pump.
 
But the bigger question is WHY would you want to do this?

Yes, WHY...??
 
And why ATF unless that is what the factory uses/recommends.

power steering fluid is ATF anyway, so why not use a superior fluid like Mobil 1? I guess the theory is, like Mobil 1 motor oil, there's less wear on parts, which means longer service life for the component it's used in.

There's little likelihood of any parts failure that would be affected by the change in power steering fluid. How long do you plan to own this car, anyway?

Until it isn't feasible to keep pouring money into it because of its age. I've always had good luck with the pre-owned vehicles I've had over the years, but I decided that I wanted at least 1 new car. You know, for that new car smell, the warranty, peace of mind, technological advancements, etc. I did keep the old car to use for going to work, throwing lumber and tools in it without having to care about scratches or dents. Another benefit of keeping the old car is that after having the Camry for a year now, it has only 5K miles on it.

That's what Toyota has in the system from the factory. In the owners manual, it says if you need to add fluid to the reservoir, use a DEXRON II or III ATF.
