Only how the packets arrive at the proxy server. THe ipnat stuff is
still there, what WCCP does is to route the traffic to the proxy
servers(s) without the need to reconfigure routers when adding/removing
proxy servers.

Same same.

For interception mode WCCP is recommended.

Depends on the load, and budget.

COSS is quite good, but still a bit experimental.
