Close… this should do it (untested):
function cn_entry_types( $atts ) {
$atts['entry_type'] = array(
__( 'Individual', 'connections' ) => 'individual' ,
__( 'Family', 'connections' ) => 'family' ),
);
return $atts;
}
add_filter( 'cn_metabox_publish_atts', 'cn_entry_types', 11 );
re: Second
Putting it in the template’s CSS will not have any affect on the admin pages. The template’s CSS is loaded only on the site’s frontend. There is no easy way to hide these fields in the admin, sorry.
You could try CSS using this plugin:

re: Third
Like the org/dept admin fields, there is no easy way to hide the relations field.
re: Fourth
Yes, use this plugin.

It works with Connections too. Still works fine even though it has not been updated in years. Really, an update would only be needed if WP radically changed their admin.
re: Fifth
Sorry, no you would have to edit the PHP code to make it distinct text from the other places that string is used.
Hope my answers have helped.
