Also, is handedness work as it does in real life? Is a left handed pitcher more valuable than a righty with comparable stuff. Lastly, does the game incorporate velocity into the "stuff" rating or is it seperate? Thanks guys!

Height does matter for pitching prospects. I believe Markus said that tall pitchers have a better chance of "putting it together". Velocity is incorporated into stuff rating. You'll notice as pitchers age if their velocity declines their stuff will decline as well. And you'll also notice that high velocity rating using coincide with high stuff ratings of pitchers.
I don't have an answer for the other questions.
