When we report to billeting the day before, must we report in uniform? I sure have a bunch of crap to carry to my room without having to worry about how my uni looks.

Absolutely not.

Ha ha. Good stuff. Actually, you are supposed to report to billetting in mess dress. You do have that, right?

Any need to take the mess dress uniform we were forced to buy at COT to my upcoming ADT?

Nope. Bring the service dress though - sometimes they're able to squeeze you in for an interview and you'll need it for that.

Speaking of interviews, I leave for an ADT tomorrow and since its a bit early in the application cycle I have not yet prepared a nice CV or personal statement. Will I be expected to have either of these items prepared for an interview while on my ADT?

Not necessarily expected but it's always nice to be prepared, particularly in regards to the CV. It's especially helpful if you happen to get along with well with an attending or two there who is willing to write you a letter of recommendation. The personal statement isn't necessary for this, and I would recommend working up a good, solid professional one page (two page max) CV and carrying a few copies of it with you during your ADTs.
