Yes, nice to have all versions. On the other side there is no much sense in it - there is no history between releases anyway. You can just put released installers in one folder like "previous releases" for reference purposes.

Why? Why not 1.7? To make it more complicated? :)

I recommend to refrain from putting binaries into code repository. Instead, as proposed in document Release Your Software, create binary releases.
No, these are unrelated things.
"binary release" - it is end-user thing like installer (exe).
The repository itself is still needed even as binary files tree - to track changes. All BB sources should became text files (in my opinion) but this is a separate topic.

I mean tracking history of changes made in source code and documentation.

Mainly in order not interfere with OM's versioning. In addition, a new version naming should have symbolic meaning for BB community.
