1 & 2) Yes, but it's not unreasonable that they would release this years kit at a similar price point.
3) The KoP has never come with 4 CIMs, why would they start now? (This is also dependent upon whether the CIMs are considered part of the "2013 AndyMark Kit of Parts Drive Base". I wouldn't consider them as such, but I'm not FIRST)
4) That's might not be a bad trade off for $50.
I did miss the part about the ToughBox Minis
