I'm not an expert. Would I notice too much of a difference between this and the Sony a6000?

You really wouldn't image quality wise. Most important different is the crop factor change. On the a6000 a 50mm lens would capture a 75mm picture on the A7.

For those of you who own or have used a Canon 5Dmk3, how would you compare the image quality from this A7 to the IQ from the 5Dmk3?

If you wish to compare image quality, the best scientific non-bias source is www.dxomark.com. The Sony A7 scored 90. The Mk3 scored 81. The A7R scored a 95.

A really subjective, but sincere question... how's the bokeh with the kit lens? I'm looking at the A7 for portrait work and want a nice shallow DOF.

if you are asking about bokeh, then you will not be satisfied with the kit lens. the kit lens is extremely sharp with fast focusing but lacks in bokeh. i use a zeiss 50 1.5 with a leica adapter as my regular point and shoot setup and shooting it at 1.5 gives me great bokeh but it's a manual focus setup. if you have to have auto focus then i would look at the other lenses but the kite lens is not for you.

is the 28-70mm lense that comes in the kit a zeiss lense?

No it's a Sony lens. It's quite good but not as much as the Zeiss. The big differences in lenses is that the Zeiss will shoot at f4 all the way, and is of better quality, and a bit more than 2X the price. Your only question then is do you need/want the f4 advantage. I did.
