What type of Cast On?
I'm making a sweater that is knit in the round from the top down. The collar is added on later by picking up stitches. What type of CO do you recommend I start off with for the body?

Hmmmmmm... I would think a provisional cast on would have been recommended; however, since it isn't you can probably use a regular long tail cast on or knit cast on to start your sweater.

Sure just a regular caston, whatever you normally use, though maybe on a larger needle so you have room to insert the needle to pick up sts.
