There are 16 of the blue extreme corner slopes (and of course 5 of the tall
pyramid tops). (The catapult tower doesn't hae the extreme slopes on it)

Yes. (So is the bird.) There are 4 crossbows.

I think they're best used the way they are in the model - as towers or strong
points in the middle of a wall. Corner towers and tall towers are best built
using older wall elements, or even better, bricks. Note that the castle has them
in both dark and light grey (if that matters).
There is a nice 'secret door' arrangement in the KLC using one of the new
tower
pieces. It's underneath the catapult, and it uses two 2x2 turntables to allow
the tower section to rotate. I think it's basically there to give access to the
defense platform with the crossbows. Anyway, it was good to see that there
rather than the 2-piece standard secret door.

Other pieces you might be able to sell easily:
* Archer 'fig (only present here and in Bull's Attack)
* 'Stained glass window'
* Large cloth tapestry (could be a sail...)
* Dk. grey wall elements
* trans(dark)green gem
* brown extreme slopes (2, on the catapult)
* Bull's firing cannon
* tower parapet pieces
Anyway, I've got a review on my web page, so you can check that out too.
