Sponsored locations were already a part of the old Android and iOS apps, so its more accurate to say that they're bringing the ads back to the new design.

They'd appear above the inbox just like they always did. The new promotion tab ads are essentially a new presentation style of what was always there.

You could already do this in iOS by going into Settings -> Mail,Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account -> Other -> Add CardDAV and entering your Google account user/pass. This makes no difference whatsoever.

Google Keep is an iOS/OS X Notes competitor, not an Evernote competitor. Their Evernote competitor was Google Notebook which preceded Evernote and was already shut down.
