* At the present moment, is it better to have a host OS limited to 32 bit or 64 bit OS works fine?

64 bit OS works fine, but template tools are limited to 32-bit. That means you have to create 64-bit template in a more manual fashion.

* In case of 32 bit host OS, can I have VEs using 64 bit templates? And the other way: 64 bit host OS with 32 bit VEs?

64 bit host OS handles 32 bit VEs just fine -- but not the other way!

* I'd like to have VEs using SLC4 (Scientific Linux CERN 4) based on RHEL4 (working with RPM and YUM). There is of course no template created yet, so I have to create one. Did not found any good explanation of what and how to do that job, just tricks and recipes. Maybe I'm a bit limited  .

If for 32 bit, start from learning what vztmpl-centos-4 consists of (that all should be pretty straightforward), then modify it to use SLC repositories, then run vzpkgcache to create SLC templates. Any questions -- ask here.
