You don't really need a good bow. My second-last character has killed 
Bull at character level 8 (has gone to level 27 - my personal record,
not counting Pernangband). Usual bow, enchant to (+8,+9) and about 300
usual arrows were enough. Or, use heavy X-Bow.

I would try to find some stat gain potions first. You need more
blows/round, better HP and SP. Look for good amulet (for example,
brilliance)

No, damage is the same, but you will not be blinded!

Not needed, use scrolls

Sell it

Good luck!
