Looks like all options are true  

Age of onset: Bipolar II earlier than I
Attempted & completed Suicides: Bipolar II > I
Marital Disruption: Bipolar II > I
Among specifiers: Catatonia stayed as specifier in DSM V. Applied to episode of depression in bipolar II if catatonic features are present during most of episode.
By definition, psychosis does not occur in hypomania.

  bravo Harry!

Good Question
