Why would the White House itself release the documents, too, as though to confirm the CBS copies? If Rove then turns around and says, "CBS gave me these fake documents," he looks stupid for having temporarily thought they were real."

That way he looks stupid AND thus, INNOCENT.

Why are the documents also consistent with all the other facts we know about Bush's doings that year?

Maybe it helps discredit what we know about the other facts. At the very least, it muddies the water so we can't really tell what's going on there.

How do we know MS Word was not based on the measurements used by the typewriter that produced that memo?

In fact, that has been stated. I don't know the veracity, but it sounds plausible.
