I think in answer to #4, for whatever reason, angels are gendered in this world. I say that only because Castiel said "good-bye sister" to one of the dead angels. And that sort of makes no sense if the angel inside didn't have a gender. If they weren't, why would he refer to the vessel's gender?
#10 I think was the most important moment in the episode, and I know that's saying a lot, but Dean's GUT reaction was OMG Sam is going to hurt me...
#11 seems kind of right to me actually. I think that's exactly what they did, but probably with more burning fury of Heaven. His program was corrupted and they needed to reprogram him. Or at least try. Whether they -actually- did or just make him think that it'd be a great plan to pretend they did is something we're going to find out.
#1 I agree that I think he was going to tell Dean what the monster at the end of the book is. That big secret of Zachariah's. A close runner up would be that he was going to tell Dean that Heaven was going to drag him back and to either be worried or just expect me to be different. But really, I think he was going to tell him the big secret.
Question 3: I know this sounds crazy, but maybe he doesn't want to murder his vessel. Not that he needs Jimmy's soul to be there... but maybe there are some limits to how cold and bloodthirsty angels will be? Probably giving them too much credit since they're willing to raze towns and all. But killing someone to take their meatsuit totally lacks in angel-like qualities.
#9 I think part of it was the shock that this innocent guy got shot. And I think part of it was the fact that this guy who looks exactly like his angel used to look got shot and was bleeding all over the place. And maybe if he'd thought about the fact that it wasn't Castiel he wouldn't have had that reaction, but Castiel's become a fixture of sorts in his life. And seeing what looks like him (because this is the only perception people have) being murdered is probably not that easy a thing. I think it was as much a gut reaction from him as the flinching from Sam was. I think his brain went: OMG, Cas got shot! And stopped right about there.
#5 I'm a bit sad that everyone calls him Cas now. I like Dean having something of his own.
#3 I think Jimmy calls them "boys" because of their lack of the trappings of adulthood, like permanent lovers and families. Also, I think it's simply possible that the writers and crew take on some of fandom's quirks. *WE* call them boys so they get used to referring to them that way and it creeps into their writing. This may also affect #5...
Can I also just point out how hugely amusing I find "Jimmy and Dean". I mean... take out the "and" and you have a sausage manufacturer, which is just a whole new level of wrong.
