Does capturing alive and executing grant more tokens than killing everyone?

No, and you have to research one first to get the option to execute them, so you waste one.

The only point of capturing them is to research free tech out of them; otherwise, executing them gives the same number of tokens as the assassination trophy.  But you still need the trophy itself for research, so you must kill at least one.

You don't need to research the trophies anymore.

Can you please elaborate? I don't know what you mean.

In my game I could use the trophies right away without researching them first. They were in the bootypedia as well. I am not sure when each one appeared, but it seems they did right after finding them. I have old saves, I'll try to find the one from the month after getting lvl C bounty hunts (I mostly made saves on the 1st of the month and I think I didn't get a bounty hunt right away, but can't really remember.)
I just assumed that was intended.

Edit: Posted save in the bug thread.

But you still need to actually have the assassination trophy to research (whether manually or automatically in the case of this bug), otherwise you're not getting to the Mutant Alliance.

I also don't recall researching the trophies, and I did get the mutie alliance.

Anyways, is there a limit on the vault space provided by slaves?
And do slaves, workers etc. need living space?
Why are courtesans in prison?

Courtesans would live in barracks, or, better and rather, in (luxury) apartment, /spa
or any living space, ( "noble, fine pension, villa..)

1idea: - even some of top-tier of .."enemies, their highest ranks, (provosts, bishops, cardinals, prezidents, generalsom opposing factions, could be held-ed and live in said, abovementioned deluxe buildings - as result their would give you abit more at their Iinterrogation, (2, even 3 research articles, and almost same things as at robbery'ing..), as if they would be kept only in dirty, poor prison, (barrack)

1.  No limit
2.  Nope.
3.  Its the current cost of doing prostitution business.  It used to be extra space taken in the stores, but worker spam negated this penalty, so prison space was implemented as a balance.

Regarding 3) it's also to make it possible for them to generate more income - they no longer need to balanced vs. workers and slaves (basically unlimited store space). They cannot live in the barracks since this is not supported.

I think it is because, for engine purposes, they are items.

What happens if you leave a shot-down craft's crash site alone? I usually shoot them down over water to avoid the crash site, but I am curious what happens.

Is it a good idea to edit the difficulty of a savegame? I started this on lowest difficulty, and now ~40 months in I have researched almost everything I can, but I lack prismatic shields from ninja seekers and heavy gauss to complete higher studies.
