My parents are scheduled to land at DFW on May 30 at 9.45 AM on Emirates EK 221, and have a separate ticket for Corpus Christi on American Eagle 2620 at 1.30 PM. This leaves for a little over 3.5 hours of connect time, of course not accounting for incoming delays.

Will this be a reasonably okay time for making the connection - which will include Immigration, Customs, change of terminals, check-in and re-clearing TSA?? Or should I be looking at changing their reservation on a later flight?

My parents are Indian passport holders and will have no pre-clearance, so this will be a full drill. They are senior citizens but have good mobility and not too bad with English language / directions.

One last questions - am I right in thinking that they will have to use the Terminal Link vans and NOT the Skylink in order to get from Terminal D to B?

Many thanks (on my parents' behalf too).
They will have plenty of time. After Customs they will drop their bags at the re-check belt and exit, go up stairs and back thru security in Term D. SkyLink will be no more than 2 stops to Term B.
