Can Chinese gatling guns which are upgraded from cho-ko-nu also attack twice per turn?

Definitely, that twice attack is powerful counter to Caroleans and samurai rifles

What would the difference between a sprawling and ICS strategy? Or when does a sprawling strategy turn into ICS?

This article answers that in depth: Empire Management.

But the gist of the difference: sprawling wants to have as many useful cities as possible. There must be something to make that city useful - good terrain, resources, etc. ICS wants to maximize per city bonuses by having as many cities as possible, even if settles on a one tile island, covered in snow, etc. Sprawling is about covering land, ICS is about min/maxing.
