Yes, if you want, provided the number of gears are the same and that you're staying with a similar low gear you should be fine.

Yes, 6600 is 10 speed as is Tiagra, so you should be okay. The only thing I'd be concerned about is whether the cassette and the rear derailleur are compatible. If the cassette you're fitting is a wider-range than the old one, the derailleur might not be able to cope with the extra teeth unless it's a medium or long cage. What ratio cassette did you have, and what are you replacing it with? Also, do you know if the derailleur is medium or long cage?

It's fine to replace any part with a compatible part of either lower cost - or higher cost. Tiagra stuff is pretty good - especially the chains, which are only around a tenner and are usually a better/cheaper option than KMC or other choices...

First time I've ever heard of a Shimano chain being better than anything, let alone KMC.

Turn the 'B' screw clockwise to move it away. This is the one that butts against the gear hanger and controls how close it is to the cassette.
