1) I could just use the Owen Corning 703 all around the room... for bass traps and everything?

But im confused... does the corning absorb high and mid range frequency also or primarily only low frequencies?
As the last poster said 703 and foam absorb pretty much the same on the high end. Keep in mind that the 703 has to be 4" or thicker (or fill the corner) to work as bass trapping which you should start this that in the corners. Also you are going to want thick absorption on the back wall. For the early reflection points What Are Early Reflection Points. SPOTLIGHT:Bob Ebeling - Revolution Studio you can use either the foam or the 703.

2) Do I do a combo of Acoustic Foam With the Corning? With the Corning as only bass traps in corners.... and the acoustic foam spaced out in 48" x 24" increments with a couple inches between each piece around my room?
