As arbiters created by Death to keep the Natural Order, Reapers are creatures of Order, and so are aligned with the Angels in that way. So it makes sense that they would be annoyed at Castiel for helping wreck the afterlife they deliver souls.
As for April, I understood that she was torturing Cas to find out more about Metatron's plan -- because she is trying to get the "bounty" (whatever it is) from Bartholomew. Her goals are in line with the Angels because she is working for them, to earn the bounty on Cas that they are offering.
You can keep a Reaper away -- but then you don't live on, you become a vengeful spirit, like Bobby.
How did April find Cas? Good question. I could make a wild leap: pure speculation, probably the reaper who possessed April is the reaper of her death. right? the reaper for each human MIGHT know what kills them. It's pretty circular (I do watch Dr. Who after all), but if April's reaper knows that April will be killed by an Angel blade, it follows that the owner of that blade might be Castiel -- and bingo, April's reaper lucked out! until the reaper hirself was also killed with the blade. A very bad gamble that the reaper would get the information from Cas and get away before April gets iced by the blade. .... ooh yay, much fodder for my April and the Reaper story. :D
I love all these questions. Instead of bothering me, they are stimulating to think about and ponder my way through. I like to think I can work most things around to where they make sense. Whereas I am usually throwing bricks at Moffat's Who because, wow, that guy can really break the rules of storytelling.
