Isn't it standard for 4G to give out IPv6? If everyone switched, we'd all have IPv6.

LTE is in large part about IPv6 (with the aim of using the PS IPv6 net to move all audio/video longer-term), often with carrier-level NAT for IPv4, simply because unlike the incumbent telecos, many mobile operators simply don't have many IPv4 addresses and there isn't the pushback against carrier-level NAT on mobile.
No. "LTE does not require or even help IPv6 deployment." http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/v6ops/current/msg15116....
