I sometimes build a stables in the cap when going for a HA rush. I don't think they are worth it in all cities, but they definitely can be worth it in one city that's producing a large % of your early attack force.
I never build them when going for an Elepult attack though because they don't benefit Catapults. Even with a strong unit like War Elephants supporting them, Catapults are still going to do a lot of the heavy lifting and you will lose more of them and build more of them than WEs.
As for answers to your questions:
#1) Not sure atm - I would need to think about that a little more.
#2) Probably somewhere around 50/50 in my experience
#3) This depends a lot on how many units are in the city and what kind of odds your are getting. If a city is lightly defended it's often not worth bombarding. Just suicide a Catapult or two and take the city. If i do stop to bombard a heavily defended city i usually take it all the way down to 0 (or very close). How many Catapults to suicide is really a judgement call. Keep checking the odds your top attacking units have after each Catapult attack.
