Speculation is the mother of all evil.
so its not true?
Of course not. Unless the outside of the box was specifically marked as "Do not write here", the IBO understands that handwriting styles differ amongst people and that people have different ways attacking questions.
The papers are sent by express courier outside of your school and nobody has time to scan each separate answer.

Depends if you did regular Maths or Add Maths for IGCSE. If you got an easy A* for Additional Maths, then you probably have a shot at a 5. If you have regular Maths at IGCSE, then you won't stand a bleeding chance in Math HL, sorry 
Sorry to burst your bubble there, but I didn't even complete GCSE Maths (but I was predicted an A*) but I still managed a 5 in Math HL (a close 6 if I may add).
It's completely subjective. Are you good in Math(s)? Do you like Math(s)? If you tick both of the boxes as yes, then go for it. I like Math(s) so I've even done a couple of engineering math courses at university despite not being required to. If you don't like Math(s) then do SL because without any sort of motivation, it's very hard to get a good grade (this is true for any subject).
