As I understand the documentation on the ADC website, these compilers are being offered and do not exclude the offering of gcc or other compilers. It is always good to have multiple choices for a compiler, as some have strengths that others don't. As to compiling the OS itself, it stands to reason that they have been compiling it in gcc, since the Intel "plans to provide" these compilers, meaning they are not done yet. In the future, yes, Apple may choose to compile OS X using the Intel compilers.

I am interested in the video card version for MRI images. Is this available to the general public? If so, could you give a link?
