A lot of casified Sakai instances will include login buttons for both
institutional users and for guest users.

If 99.9% of your users will have institutional accounts, it may make sense
to just have a hidden URL (sent via email) for the guest users.

Maybe.  If the institution has a process for adding guest users to the
institutional central LDAP/AD/database, they would then login through CAS.

No.  If you are getting sent to CAS, you need to complete a CAS login.

What do they mean by a better login page?  A better CAS login page?  If
yes, you should search for information about themeing the CAS login page.
 If on Sakai, maybe look to emphasize the institutional login and
de-emphasize the guest login link as the vast majority of your users will
be institutional users.
