There is no difference.

It isn't different; you are somehow misinterpreting the EHCI spec.  
Where do you think it says that a ZLP will always be added?

This could be due to the different maxpacket values in full speed and 
high speed.

Are you sure the driver really needs a short packet?  I won't say it's 
impossible (because I'm not familiar with the CDC spec), but it does 
seem unlikely.

The same as for the other controller types.

No.
