SIM unlocking is really easy with verizon. All you have to do is send them an email saying that you're traveling overseas and would like to have the code to unlock your SIM card. I got an email back within 6 hours with the code. Unlike sprint users where they actually have to buy the SIM unlocker from comnex. However, no, with the official Verizon radio, you will not need to unlock your SIM card to install it.
The reason your phone goes from EV to 1x during phone calls is due to the fact that the CDMA protocol can't handle a data and a voice connection at the same time, GSM can, it is one of the places where GSM is better than CDMA. So, no, the new radio will not
fix that. What it will fix though is your phone getting stuck in 1x either randomly, or after a phone call. I haven't had any problems with that since I flashed the new radio.
This will also not help with
any bluetooth issues. This is for the phones radio only, not the bluetooth radio.
I hope that has helped you more than confused you, it's a lot to take in at first.
