Jan 27, 2017 at 16:32 comment added Riccardo for what concern your last question, I believe the answer is yes, even though I'm unable to provide explicit examples. Looking at almost spin 4-manifolds, one can define the so called $w$-type of it, which basically is the preimage via the classifying map $c_* : H^2(\pi_1M;\mathbb{Z}_2)\to H^2(M;\mathbb{Z}_2)$ of $w_2(M)$ (this definition involves a Serre SS argument). Then one can compute the stable diffeomorphism classes of orientable manifolds with $w$-type $x^2$ and in some examples it turns out that the class is not empty, which means that exists the 4-manifold with the required property
