That is the exact 65 lb. cover that I use sometimes. It should work just fine. I use 110 lb index for most of my models. It is a little bit stiffer, but not much.

Yes, yes and yes to your questions. I use it exclusively, but not for laminating to 0.5 or 1mm. I use Bristol for that.

That's what i use most of the time. I have laminated it up to 1mm and it works quite well, but I've been using acid free comic/magazine backers as a core for laminated stock lately. Either one is nice on the blades that chipboard.

Again, yes, yes, and yes!
Great stuff, I use it all the time!

If you're in the UK 75 sheets of A4 200gsm is £4 in Wilkinson's.

My supplier for colored card stock just stopped accepting PayPal, so I am now looking for more sources who do accept PayPal... Rats.

What is the difference between copy/printer paper and cardstock, by the way?
