Kishimoto was asked in a interview about it and instead of saying, "Yes Sakura is Salad's mother." He instead said he left it up to the readers' interpretation. So even Kishimoto thinks he left enough room open for it to be possible that Karin is Salad's mother. Then again he said it soon after the gaiden so he probably change his answer eventually when that answer proved unpopular or something.
Yes. It is the entire outfit, but it's especially that dress.
They don't really care where her character goes. Other then she is Bolt's eventual love interest -unless the anime creates a better girl- beyond that they don't care as long as she isn't hated.
Honestly the current manga writer has been really kitten so far, but if I were to guess they are relying on the anime to be there backstory as they work on the plot post-chunin exams/post-movie. But this was to be expected when their first TEN chapters were just a rehash of the movie except for the beginning and the end.
Well we have to deal with more of Bolt's whining and he'll probably bring up his daddy issues again, while this kids just a stereotypical lonely spoiled rich kid. So bolt for me because the boy will disappear after this arc while we will have to deal with Bolt until this manga is finally cancelled.

Kishimoto says a lot of things that don't line up with the actual story. I don't remember the ending of Gaiden being ambiguous.
