Eventually but not yet.


 (b) whether these tweets will be identified as ads


They will be identified as promoted and  it will be required to

 (c) whether third parties are 'obligated' to present them to users


It will be opt in per application.


 (d) whether there will be an API Terms of Use as a result


There already is. When registering apps on dev.twitter.com you have to
accept a TOS.
