4 - I would love to have a separate file for the articles, like articles.php, but this works nice too.
5 - Also, is there an option to set more characters for article submission? My first article was over 20k characters while posts are only allowed up to 10k (altho I put it to 0 to disable meanwhile).

Mijae, the whole concept behind GAS is to use existing forum tools and functions instead of creating a new thing on top of vB.
The original script was nothing more than a set of templates more suitable for article displaying than vB's showthread templates.
Since that version a lot has happened and some I didn't follow but the main concept remains.
So, having said that:
1 - Why?
2 - With the inclusion of some new fields (like the byline thing), it adds at least one more query. You can wait for Samuel's answer or install a mod to count queries. Either way I believe the number of additional queries it's not significant.
3 - If the user has no permission to leave comments, the quick reply shouldn't be displayed. You can edit the templates and put an if conditional around the quick reply box if there isn't an option for that in the GAS settings.
4 - In theory you can duplicate showthread.php, name it articles.php, make the necessary edits on that file and change GAS code to call articles.php when a GA is displayed. In practice I don't know what are the side effects of this.
5 - Again, this should use your forum's settings although I'm also not sure if there is a value for that in GAS settings.
