Todo keywords need to be words currently, so you could do
something like
(setq org-todo-keywords
'((sequence "TODO" "|" "DONE")
(type "I_I" "|" "IXI")
))

Well, a two-state todo setup really *is* a checkbox, even if it does
not look like one. About the only difference is the command you
use to toggle the state.

Not currently. I have just implemented this for boolean properties
in column view (will be in 5.02), but not yet for TODO states.
