To clear up a couple of your questions, unfortunately I can't answer all of them:
1) Yes, there are two versions, the first that opened in Chicago, as a play with only incidental music, there were no clear main characters either. New York producers Ken Waissman and Maxine Fox saw it and recognized its potential and added songs and defined two main characters (Sandy and Danny) and brought it to broadway.
2)Yes, the 1972 version contained these innuendos, here is a website that contains a chart showing what obscenities have been changed: http://www.newlinetheatre.com/grease-dialogue.html
3)I would love to know the answer to this one as well, if anyone knows.
4)All I know about this song is that it was originally in the Chicago production, but was taken out when the play moved to Broadway.
I hope this helps a bit!
