I find that the colour contrast is very good, and I prefer them to default stickers that come on many cubes (especially the terrible F2 stickers! (although they did fix the orange/red similarity problem a bit))

Well since the whole concept of parity is switching two corners during edges, there would be none.
It depends on the method you're using. If you use Pochmann (or any method based on 2-cycles), then there is no parity. if you use a 3-cycle method, there is one because you can't solve an odd permutation with only 3-cycles.
Yes, but you can still solve the entire cube using 3 cycles. For example you do a T-perm (2 cycle) you could solve it using an A-perm (3 cycle).

I'm not sure if there's been any successes. I know people can do it from Square shape.

What are average splits for a 16 second solver?

Depends on the solver. Probably about 10-12 for F2L.

Looks like it, but would it matter anyway?
