Question: Why did Castor shoot Dietrich? They were on the same side.
Chosen answer: Although they were on the same side, Troy is currently posing as Archer, which means he would have to do everything that the FBI would expect Archer to be doing. The whole point of the raid was to take out Archer, as well as Troy's gang. He would have rather risked killing part of his own gang than risk exposing his identity to anyone else.
That doesn't really make sense. In the scene, he goes out of his way to shoot him and smiles while doing so, carefully and slowly. Was not a collateral damage situation. The question is why he deliberately goes out of his way to kill him.
Answer: If you watch closely, he saw Archer, went out of his way not to shoot him, instead was aiming for his own son that he didn't know was his, to further traumatize Archer.
Question: Why wasn't Castor Troy cuffed to the bed and watched by several agents? And how did he know which agents knew of the switch and thus kill only them?
Answer: It's possible the doctors did not expect him to wake up (at least so soon). Also, when Castor woke up, there were no doctors around, but he was watching a video of the procedure. So, even though we don't see it on screen, maybe somewhere in the video he saw the head doctor and the other two coordinating everything before the part we see him watching. A valid set of questions here, though, is: why would a doctor film all this and then leave the tape around, and how did Castor know where to find it?
Answer: For the first question, in the chance that he did wake up (which he did). He's a very dangerous man in a coma and could wake up and escape if not watched or cuffed. Second question, he would have watched the video seen when the doctor comes in and saw which agents were there, as well as would have tortured the information out of the doctor about it.
Good answer to the second question, but the first one asked why Troy WASN'T watched and cuffed. In the film, he wakes up alone and unrestrained.
The medical staff thought that Castor Troy was so far into his coma that he wouldn't wake up, as made apparent when the agent put her cigarette out on his arm. They were not expecting him to wake up.
Corrected entry: When Pollux admits to Castor (really Archer) the bomb is in the L.A. Convention Center, Castor gives Pollux a strange look and tells him he's so pathetic (as if he's turning on him). It seems those actions and that comment made Pollux immediately suspicious something was wrong. Castor should have just heard the location and said "Cool" or something like that, then changed the subject so nothing would seem wrong.
Correction: Pollux already found "Castor" suspicious and this evidenced by him asking him what his medication was and reminding him of why Dubov was so mad. It's pretty obvious that he either suspected that it wasn't really his brother or that he was acting more strange than usual.
Plus, he wasn't expecting the real Castor to arrive AS him and just thought that he would be getting out before Pollux could react to his comment. Pollux wasn't exactly stupid at this point and could've connected the dots pretty quickly.
Chosen answer: Surgical scar removal is a real thing, usually involving skin grafts or lasers. Keloid scarring is a result of the body aggressively attempting to heal/repair itself after trauma or injury (in this case, the gunshot). With proper surgical techniques, the body isn't traumatized to the point that deep scarring occurs. Of course, just like with the face surgery, the movie exaggerates the results of the scar removal.

I thought he kept it.
He says he wanted to keep it at the beginning of the movie, but when he is about to have his face changed back at the end of the movie, he says he doesn't need it anymore.
