The green elastoplymer gasket is for the inlet, and one that is likely to be the cause of the coolant loss.
The high temperature composite gasket is for the exhaust, which isn't responsible for coolant loss.

That depends on the size of the leak. However if too much coolant is lost into the cylinder, then it'll start misfire.
Not unless the coolant has dropped low enough for a vapour lock to occur.
If the system is bled correctly, and it's still throwing its coolant out the cap, then it's likely the HG has failed. Running the engine with low coolant will also make the HG fail very quickly.
Potentially, but as the inlet manifold is under vacuum, it draws coolant into the cylinder.
Oh and that composite gasket is for the alloy inlet manifold used on the VVC K series, which needs different gasket. The plastic manifold of the standard K series requires the green elastopolymer gasket.
It's impossible to say without looking at the vehicle. But if it's not blowing its coolant out the pressure cap, then one assumes the HG is currently OK, or at least not the cause of this huge loss.
