How are the U-turns preformed in the test, with the back brake applied or a simple slow speed turn? Can I fail if I don't keep my head pointed in the direction I intend to face?
Life saver, you don't really need a diagram, just look at the space you're about to occupy.

Manauvering around a car, I'd say no as other road users will be expecting you to do this, but don't forget to lifesaver and move out in good time.

I don't think that they're too fussed as to exact technique, the U turn is more to show off your control of the bike, but the look where you want to go and trailling the back brake are good ways to get that control spot on.
Once again don't forget to lifesaver before you set off, when you begin the turn and before you set off back in the other direction.
