I don't have the answers to your questions but we pass a binary image to Tesseract like you do, with values set to either 0 or 255. Tesseract will threshold the image so we experiment with modifying Tesseract to short-circuit the thresholding for performance reasons - but then realized the performance saving is minimal in this case and we are not doing that any longer.
