The sid netinst contains sid base debs. Anything going beyond that
depends on where you pointed apt to. By default D-I will put testing
in your sources.list so if you pointed apt to /debian-pure64/ you get
sarge, if you pointed it to /pure64/ you get sid.

Depends on what libc6 you have, which depends on the date you've
gotten the image. You do not have to downgrade libc6 for any reason
but that libc6-dev depends on an equal version of libc6. So when
installing libc6-dev you might have to downgrade libc6 to match,
apt-get will tell you.

Hmm, good question. Mount them both and compare. Doing a quick diff
on the Packages file I see 60 differences in versions.
