If building on Ubuntu it's much easier to use the ubuntu-packaged toolchains (or cross-toolchains) which should function just the same but have multiarch enabled and be properly packaged. That should make your Q1 moot as you the kernel-headers are a separate package from the cross-toolchain and normal package-management tools will make it obvious what versions are available/installed. You only want to try using a linaro toolchain release directly if there is some super-recent feature that you need, but which hasn't yet made it into the Ubuntu toolchain (they will always be somewhat behind 'current' especially if building on stable).
