"The retiring principal asked his old pupils to take interest in the school after him" - This is right as well. Since we are already mentioning " retiring principal", we need not use the same word again at the end.

Yeah it should be "After he retires" or "after retirement".

Prateek is right, it should be "after his retirement".
