Node Express REST hosted in Google Cloud Run

I am thinking of setting up Google Cloud Run to host Docker container services. If the existing service is a Node - Express REST service listening on a port, do I need to remove Express, so it isn't constantly running / listening and charged?

If your existing service is an Express app, you are all set.

You will not be charged when you are not receiving any request.

Just package it in a container using a Dockerfile and you can deploy it to Cloud Run. Take a look at the Node.js sample in the quickstart

No, your container is only scaled up when it is receiving incoming requests. See "Cloud Run container instances" in the Cloud Run Resource model docs.
