Lots of questions.

Speculative Spoiler: Yes, I think they're Seraphs, and I'm not totally sure that they're on the same side. Head Six would be a Seraph aligned with the new-BSG's version of Count Iblis (or perhaps Head Six is new-BSG's Count Iblis??). I don't remember enough specifics about Head Baltar to know whether or not I think he's aligned with new-BSG's Iblis, or new-BSG's Beings of Light. I do think that Head Leoben was most certainly aligned with new-BSG's Beings of Light. I'm not sure whether or not the form these head characters are taking has any particular meaning. On one hand, it's easy to say that Head Six and Head Baltar take those forms because of the connection each character has to the other. But why does Head Leoben take the form of Leoben to speak to Starbuck?
