The bulk of the protein is in the white. No point taking on all the yolks.
No, 45% of the egg's protein is in the yolk.
Without referring everyone back to my post, those wishing to 'bulk up' need to look at the timing of their calorific intake as well as the content. Also consider that 4 eggs is approximately the same protein content as one scoop of a popular protein powder supplement or one small can of tuna.
Chugging a ton of protein first thing in the morning or before exercise won't be as effective as the right amount after training as the exercise needs fuel which comes from carbs, these should be the main focus of your diet before training and to a certain extent after. A slow release protein one hour before sleep is excellent though.
Some body builders enthuse about taking on as much protein as possible and there's a lot of products which encourage you to do so, however, it's the volume and intensity of your weight training which promotes muscle hypertrophy. What you take on to replenish the muscle's glycogen stores may be more effective if it includes more carbohydrate. Check out anything related to "the performance diet"

This is fairly accurate and up to date at a glance:
