No, you can route IPv6 & IPv4 from the same ASN.

If you need IPv4, apply for it. You might have a *better* chance if you
already have a plan to implement IPv6, than if you have not considered
it.

Software. Plesk barely has IPv6 support (>10.2) and I'm yet to hear
about it from CPanel.
Furthermore connection tracking in RHEL/CentOS 5 is totally broken for
IPv6 if you're using it for IPv4 also...
But mostly: you just have to dive in and see what works/what doesn't.
Just don't test it on your live servers!
