1. I don't think the developers ever told his surname.

2. Like its dedicated page says, VWA is a pack of 4 add-ons which were originally pre-order bonuses from different retailers. It contains several exclusive Bone Charms, most of which are not really useful, extra coins and 4 artifacts granting one additional charm slot each. There are also 4 long exclusive books, each centered on a major character (Early Life and Times: Slackjaw, The Journal of Granny Rags, Rumors and Sighting: Daud, Field Survey Notes: The Royal Spy). All can be collected at the Hound Pits right after Corvo gets his powers. Tbh, the books are the only interesting point in this marketing tactic.

3. She will probably get her own powers from the Outsider, or else she wouldn't be able to develop exclusive ones like Far Reach and Shadow Kill. They could have still shared a bond, but only if Corvo had access to Arcane Bond and that's not entirely possible.

4. Someone from his side helped them seize the hideout.

5. A nobleman and a former bandit turned overseer. I don't think they like each other much and the power fever fueled their deadly argument.

6. You can continue playing without them. That wouldn't be too difficult though if you only rely on stealth.
