A) All will work, the Ripjaws X line was designed for the P67 and it's derivatives the H67 and the Z68 (which is a combo of the P & H 67s.

B) 'Seeing' the difference depends on the individual and what you do with your system, I'd say yes it's worth it, the lower the CL the higher the performance, also with the lower CL say the 8, you have a better opportunity to OC the sticks if you so chose, i.e. with 1600/CL8 native, should probably be able to run 1866 or better at CL9. Also if you were to upgrade in the future the possibility of running the sticks at a higher frequency (speed) would give greater latitude in upgrading expenses.

C) I'd suggest the 2x4GB, which gives you 8 immediately and still leaves slots open for expansion to 16 (or possibly 12, would suggest 16)...if you were to simply go 2x2GB now, to expand, you'd be adding either 2x2 and maxing at 8GB or trying to add 2x4GB which could prove troublesome as mixing sets can be problematic, and adding a different set with different capacity can be even more troublesome (of course, it could go smooth as silk, but best to be aware of possible problems for the future)
