The (hollow) bolt snapped in half after the friend I got it from over tightened the rear of the stem. both pinch bolts broke, but one before the other. To make up for the missing bolt, which he was able to remove, he overtightened the lower one, and, yeah. Anyway, i removed the back/unheaded half with a pair of pliers. However, I've tried removing the head of the bolt with an allen wrench, and the bolt spins, but doesn't move. How can I get it out?

Sorry cant really follow your description. If you have the threaded half out, cant you just put a 5mm allen key or something similar in from the under side and knock the head end out?

Not usually. The unsealed will have threaded hardware on the axle so you will need a different axle too and probably some spacers. Usually makes more sense to just buy better cranks with a sealed BB...

I dont know you tell us... laziness? Greasing them is good practice.

Not trying to stir anything up here I'm just curious - why don't Odyssey/Gsport hubs come with greased bearing seats?
