Raising the polepieces will give a softer rounder attack and a bit more airiness.
Yes, because you will more likely than not have to lower the pickup a bit so the string still clears the raised polepieces.
Lowering them will give a harder attack and more presence.
I agree because the entire pickup can be put closer to the strings.
I had a Tone Zone which I used in the bridge spot of three different guitars. The first one was a double cut junior type - there it was ok but rather bland. The second one was a gold top Les Paul - there it was outright buzzy and ugly. The third was my Brian Moore, which is light and very bright - there it sounded good. I did not make a lot of adjustments in any of the guitars but the ones I did did not make a day and night difference.
