To answer your first question, Bungie cut out the Human ATV because it totally stunk. It was like a death trap (leaving the driver completely vulnerable), and they realized it was dreadfully underpowered and thus cut it.
To answer your second question: The pistol was the exact opposite of the ATV...it was way over powered and the only thing anybody used. Bungie doesnt want MC's main weapon to be a dinky pistol which doesnt seem realistic. They took the Pistol, and kinda combined it with the Assault Rifle to make the Battle Rifle (except the BR doesnt kill in 3 shots and only has single shot and 3 round burst)
Questions 3, 4, and 5 all haven't been released by Bungie yet, and you'll have to wait till at least November 9th (except for the PC question)
