1. Larid once stated, I believe, that they loved the irony of one of nature's slowest creatures being able to be fast. I think you could probably stretch that logic to conclude that keeping them short adds to the irony. Also, we tend to stereotype short people with being faster than larger heavier objects.
2. No clue, but I think Rapheal's weapon and temper were based on Wolverine.
3. Major characters who have appeared in other incarnations include but originally appeared in Mirage comics under Eastman & Larid's oversight: Leatherhead, Shredder, Foot Clan (including Shredder Elite, Foot Mystics, and Shredder clones), Karai, Rat King, Renet and Lord Simultaneous, Fugitoid, Triceratons (including Zogg), Utroms, Casey Jones, Savanti Romero, Nobody, Justice Force, Mousers, Baxter Stockman (never a fly), Kirby, Klunk the cat, and Shadow.
4. Some are for sale on the official website, others are up on ebay. Hopefully, they will all eventually be scaned to the official site for public reading.
5. Yes, Raph showered at least while living in April's apartment in the Donatello #1 special.
