Questions about AM super shifters

I'll only answer the ones I have experience with.

The four 1/4-20 bolts that hold the box together can also be used to face mount. Otherwise, you're making your own brackets and holes.

3. Should my team go for servo of pneumatic shifting. Myself I would go with pneumatic but I have been wrong before,

Pneumatic leads to wasted weight if you don't have other pneumatic systems. You need at least an air tank, a relay module, valves and a solenoid in addition to the cylinders, whereas you have just the two servos in the alternate setup. You also run the (reasonably slight) risk of running out of air mid-match.

We've only used servo shifting recently because we haven't used any pneumatic systems in the last few years, and it's worked fine for us. The servos didn't break and we shifted smoothly enough. SuperNerd is right that the pneumatic shifting is faster and firmer, but I don't think that's enough reason to warrant building a whole pneumatics system just for shifting.
