Ints are generally the fastest types to access, so using them for bools
makes sense.

Casting to int rounds down to the nearest int (which isn't always what you
want) and is very slow on x86. It reuires flushing the register stack
reseting the fpunit's parameters, doing the conversion, flushing the stack...

The other questions are specific to evo, so I cant help you there.
