At address, my body is bent at the hips, my back is not hunched. But I guess as I start my downswing I hunch my back a bit to make sure it scuff the perfect amount of turf under the ball. I am 6'1. Sometimes I think I need longer shafts but who knows. Is there like a general rule for club length size for your specific height? I never thought about that till now. I wonder if there is some table on the net that shows what you should be shooting for your specific height. haha well im gonna do some searching around!

You must be a better driver/wood player then. Yes iron shots need much steeper swing plane but it is very easy to go outside-in (i dont see it from the pics tho). You might not have club face open but an outside-in swing cuts across the ball and creates left-to-right sidespin to send the ball to the right. Check your grip as well, it's very common cause of open club face at impact.
To make a steeper shot you should spead the weight evenly between both legs at address, ball in the middle. Turn your hip to initialize downswing (never with arms) and let arms come down to the inside. IF you are hitting the ground usually is because you using too much arm strenght and try to "cast" the club down then hit the ground.
I'm 6' and I was choosing between a longer club set and a normal one. I ended up geting a normal one and I have no problem hitting with short irons at all. HOwever they are my strongest irons. I suck at driver coz my swing is always too steep.
