Those references may be some leftovers from the time when loading and saving was done directly in cWorld, cChunk and cChunkMap, instead of specialized classes. If you think a specific reference is of importance, feel free to ask, giving me the reference line number 
I think it'd be beneficial to keep generator-related stuff together, so the generator settings should go into world.ini's Generator section. Mob behavior could then be just in another section of the world.ini file - we'll have per-world settable mob behavior, yay!
Are you really volunteering to rewrite the mob AI? That'd be awesome!
Still, I'd suggest you start a new thread on the forum, explaining in rough contours how you want the algorithms to work. It has proved useful, since others may have some insights why one part or another might prove problematic, and propose a different solution. It'd be better than writing lots of code, only to find out that it doesn't work well, for example with the threading model used in MCServer.
