3. After getting the Aqua C, can I ditch my Aquaclear HOB?
You can if you want to but it's useful as Fidojoe mentioned.

4. I usually like to run carbon, can I still do that just using the skimmer?
Sure I don't see why not your water will be crystal clear.

6. What about removing the oily film at the water surface, will the skimmer take care of this?
You need to buy a Surface Prefilter otherwise it will NOT.

" The Surface Prefilter skims water off the top of the tank, which is often coated with a heavy load of organics.The Surface Prefilter also contains a bubble eliminating sponge to get rid of those microbubbles that sometimes escape back to the aquarium. The water return area can also serve as a media chamber for those who choose to use activated carbon or phosphate removing compounds."
