to answer your question, yes. the cat is right after the downpipe right? thats a big bottleneck.

For turbo, 3" is better than 2.5" for HP. Go with the 3" if at all possible.

Neither. You should NOT have any CAT.

I think testpipe.com's cats arent carsounds. I was looking around the site and they just say high flow cats but dont mention carsound.

Have ye no faith?
I told you they sell 3" Carsound Cats for $59!
Call them and you will see. The site lists them as high flow cats. Look at the picture they are Carsound cats. They will even install an O2 bung for next to nothing if you ask them.
