Your Answer for Question 1:
The while loop can be used to impliment any for loop, do-while loop, if-goto combination, or if statement. These loop and conditional constructions are used to make code more readable and less contrived.  For example:
i = 0;
while(i < 10) {
   printf("%i\n", i);
   i++;
}

and 

for(i = 0; i < 10; i++)
   printf("%i\n", i);

Are equivalent, but the for construction is much more readable because it collects the loop constaints together.


Your Answer for Question 2:
if
elseif
while
for
do while
switch

in MIPS
beq
bne
slt (used with beq, bne)

MIPS was designed to have the smallest possible instruction set.  As explained in question 1, only a few of the possible constructions are necessay, because branching statements are all constructions of eachother.

Your Answer for Question 3:
I haven't had any problems with this reading.  I would like to see more C translated into MIPS, because it adds a lot to my comprehension.
