The old style Celicas actually have 25 minutes positive camber set into the suspension to aid tyre wear, so it's not unusual to see camber results like yours. I can't comment on the bump steer - I've never had to combat it. As for your other questions:
1: Yep, 1/2" bigger than RA23/28 though!
2: Yep
3: Yep
4: Yep
5: Nope
6: Dunno, never had to bother with them.
7: Dunno, I can check for you if you can't get a definative answer, I have both type of struts here.
8: Yep, you can have them made by engineering companies cheaper than $250, show them why you want them and they can do it. You could even have them offset for more camber gain (some people say these are exposed to more shear force, however I've never seen one brake, but check for yourself on this matter!).
9: Yep, grease them up liberally when you put them in and keep them greased - they destroy themselves when they are run dry. I have always pulled my suspenbsion out and regreased everything every three or four years as a service item, and never had a problem with them splitting.
10: Yep, they're easy to install, however you will need a press and some drifts to remove the old press fit rubber items, again "grease is the word" when installing the new items!
11: Yep, get some good shocks that can do a better job of controlling the springs!
12: Ask question ads to what shops recommend around your area, it costs nothing. You'll soon learn to decipher the products they are trying to push, and the products that actually work! KYB's are a godd middle of the road brand, I'd recommend them over anything else, as many people also do!
13: Yep, adjustable panhard rods baby - set and forget!
