I would say you should always try them on and see what works for you. The same principles apply to choosing neutral climbing shoes as they do to choosing aggressive climbing shoes - try them on and feel what feels best for you.

I believe he said in one of his recent videos, or just in a video he was in, that he downsizes his shoes a few sizes less than he used to a few years ago. I can't remember the reason why he said he does it.

There may be some brands that have similar sizing, most likely by chance, but overall brands can have very different sizing to their shoes. Even different shoes from the same brand tend to have different sizing.

I don't really think there is a general best length. For me personally, I cut them just enough to not be too short, but don't leave enough to hear the nails on the wall. If they are even a little bit longer than that, they tend to sometimes get bent backwards while grabbing the holds, which obviously is not very pleasant.

You can walk in climbing shoes, it is just not recommended. Climbing shoes are not meant for walking, they are meant for climbing. Walking in them can just wear the shoes out quicker. Not to mention that they are also pretty painful to just walk in.

A lot of climbers like to walk in new climbing shoes to help stretch them out and break them in, so that could be an exception to the above. After those shoes have stretched, though, it would just be wearing them out quicker.
