I see no reason why the difference between "textbook" and "contest" problems would be anywhere near as significant to computers as it is to humans.

  One interesting thing about IMO problems is that they don't require any advanced mathematical knowledge, only problem-solving ability.

  Depends on the textbook, but most ones used in schools are quite formulaic while IMO problems generally require significant insight to solve.

    School math textbooks are quite formulaic. University math textbooks less so.

      Depends on the textbook, of course. I've personally found that commonly-used university mathematics textbooks for standard courses to be of equal or poorer quality than high school texts.
