Question 1 is out of the realm of evolutionary biology.
For question 6 read Stepehen Jay gould's - Full House.
Yes and no. While I agree with ukuleleBri that your skills will be appreciated, it is important to get a grip of the way biologists think about things, and more particularly how variance is important to biological systems. Unlike in most fields, which tend to see variance as something to minimise, biology depends on variance and though it can be irritating, it needs to be considered as a significant part of the system. A good book that discusses this is Full House, by Steven Jay Gould (while I disagree with some of his positions on evolutionary biology, he makes good arguments and the concepts in this book are definitely valid).
Read Full House by Stephen Jay Gould if you want to know more about evolution and the interplay of statistics in evolutionary processes. It's easy to follow, and simply a fun read because of the author's style.
Or if you're into poetry, try Lighthead by Terrance Hayes.
