I just ran sudo apt-get update. I'm not sure if this updated bitcoin-qt or not. bitcoin-qt is still working.
apt-get update just updates the list of packages, you need apt-get upgrade to actually upgrade packages.

How can I see what version of bitcoin-qt I currently have?
There should be an "About Bitcoin" button under help in the Bitcoin-Qt window.

I heard that on May 15th, we will need the newest version of bitcoin-qt. Is this true, or will older versions still be OK?
Yes, you need to upgrade to at least 0.8.1 before May 15th (0.8.2 is also really nice, so upgrade to that when its out).  That said, its generally a very, very good idea to always update both Bitcoin and all your system packages very regularly, both because of new features and options and because the Bitcoin network benefits greatly when users upgrade.

how do i check the version from the CLI?

Is "consensus" of nodes an improvement over mining?
I think it's too early to tell especially given the extensive testing that proof of work has received. But I'm very optimistic. Two big fundamental differences: Proof of work can also be used to distribute a currency -- there's no known good way to do that using consensus. There's no known good way to handle a 51% attack on a proof of work system.

this is where i think you've got it wrong.

POW is the ideal way to distribute coins as it starts everyone off on a level playing field.  yes, you had to know about Bitcoin and "see" it's potential to mine early but that's the way any startup goes.  also the subsequent buildup of POW systems (miners) acts not only to distribute validators widely but also increases the security of the system orders of magnitude making a 51% attack highly unlikely or infeasible.

by handing out XRP's randomly and w/o order creates all sorts of distortions.  everyone sees this now.
