1) Yes..Those are apparently the core support beams..
2) Need contractor to apply permit and they must be registered with HDB if i'm not wrong.

Not really a big concern, location and what you see outside the window is more important.

If all the flats packed together like sardine, no matter which floor is also bad. And will rather be right on top than to be middle or bottom.

Usually people will say very hot on a sunny day, but I think more of it comes to the ceiling height and the way the building is located... and maybe also the Sun direction.
