Does Mind Like A Steel Trap apply to will saves?

No, just skill checks and Wisdom ability checks.

Well I'm not sure well all the names line up.

Like Nerves of steel: I generally think of nerves of steel as being able to face off against threats and not shake, demure, or back down....Those things imply anti-fear bonus, or maybe a will save (to cover everything from concentration, compulsion, etc)...its mental constitution. Dex bonus makes think of conductivity.

Also Iron Stomach seems....rather overpowered in comparison to the others...I mean its TWO attribute bonus vs the singles for things like silver tongue, chrome dome, etc.

It is not attribute bonuses it is bonus to skill checks and ability checks based on those attributes.
On a caster there is one skill check that is good and it is concentration and their lack of focus on str will make them not be so good for jumping or swimming.
On a non caster the con thing is near irrelevant and so it ends up being like only having a bonus to str skills and str checks.
