Hi Jacob,
I have not worked with the new Retina display... But if I know the Apple monitors, there is no control for brightness, contrast and saturation besides a calibration utility in System Pref>Display>Color.
In case calibration is critical, you should look at using the LG as the grading monitor since it has controls that you can manually adjust - therefore can be calibrated. You can use the Calman to calibrate your display. Use the Apple for UI display. You might need a Thunderbolt to SDI/HDMI box.
Yes, 10 bit matters as it directly relates to the ability of the monitor to display more colour information. In terms of numbers - an 8 bit displays 256 steps and 10 bit displays 1024 steps. Besides the bit depth, contrast ratio also matters in a display.
Resolve will work anyway - even on a laptop.
