You can use Google's Webmastertools and the "Crawl as Googlebot" tool
to check out how your site looks like for Google.
Normally it should index the very same content...

Sry...
No idea on that... There must be some kind of influence because the
url is part of the ranking. But I guess it's Google's alchemy.

Yea. You absolutely need <a href tags... If you do something else
(aka clickhandler and such) Google will not find it... That might be
related to your question 1).
Hope that helps a bit...
Apart from that #! crawling should just work fine...

Guess they simply changed their internal structure... in case somebody
searches for "username twitter" google will automatically point to
twitter.com/#!/username and not the "old" twitter.com/username. 302's
are read by Google and applied accordingly - but they are simply there
to help Google (and a user's browser ;) ) make sense of a changed
website structure...
